Hey Jared, Nice review of the Tivo from an accessibility viewpoint. You nailed it. I have talked about Tivo on this list for a long time, but never have written up a blog and gone in to the detail you did. To those of you using Tivo are you able to get any of the described video? I have spent hours on the phone with Tivo and both Time Warner and now Verizon Fios and they claim either I cannot receive described video with a cable card or the cable company blames Tivo or vice versa for me not being able to receive any described video feeds. I have had sighted assistance make sure my Tivo is set up to use SAP audio when available but have yet to ever get anything with described video.
