Hi Mary,
Yes, apps may have to be made accessible with TVOS now just as they have to be made accessible with iOS, but just because some developers may not have done so or maybe have not done so yet because it’s all new to me still means I love the new apple TV because it can do so much more than the old one. When everything is said and done there will still be a ton more apps many of which will be accessible and as the popularity of the Apple TV grows so will awareness about accessibility. But even now I totally love that when I watch a movie I can simply push the SIRI button and say “What did he say” or “Rewind 3 minutes”, searching for movies with SIRI works great and I just think this is only the start. I have already heard how this apple TV is more like a Beta, that it’s unfinished and surely Apple could have done better given how long it’s been since they have last updated the Apple TV. I can sort of agree with this, but playing devil’s advocate or maybe I should say “Apple’s advocate” one could also argue that while this is the next generation Apple TV it is very much almost a new device. The hardware is new, the remote is new and the platform (TVOS) is also totally new. App developers only had a few months to come up with apps and Apple is still hammering out deals with all the major networks and content providers for the actual TV offering. I’m certainly willing to cut them some slack and give them a year or so to see what they come up with. I guess I choose to see it from the “glass half full” perspective rather than the “glass half empty” perspective. As for accessibility, all of us individually as well as whatever organisations represent us as a group will just have to continue to lobby for accessibility and make developers aware of the fact that their app may not be accessible. In the case of a subscription based service like Hulu one can always cancel their subscription aeven if you do so temporarily and make sure to explain when you call in to cancel that they loose y our business because of a lack of accessibility.

With the older version, you had built in accessibility, because the basic framework was accessible. You had this grid of channels. And you could navigate that because it was going to be accessible. Now with these separate apps, companies are once again free to blow us off. Very sad.

How ever, when going into Hulu, Voice over does not work. Is this a probelm others are experiencing? Or is it a Hulu update problem? or Apple?
