Thanks Prashant, it really helps.
If anyone has tried/ or knows of any other brand of smart TV which is
accessible with its screen reader and can also read the menus of Tata Sky
or
any other DTH service, would really appreciate their inputs.
Thanks,
Pranay.

Further to your queries, I checked that my TV does have Bluetooth.
The manual says that it will support most Keyboards and mouse although no
guarantee can be given.
Regarding supporting Bluetooh speakers, my model does not support it.
There
are few other models which are supporting bluetooth speakers or
headphones.
However, there is one workaround by which bluetooth headphone or spaeker
will work with most TVs.
there are bluetooth transmitters that plug into the 3.5 mm headphone jack
in
the TV. these bluetooth transmitters are available on amazon etc. these
can
be used to get TV sound on bluetooth headset or speaker.
thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant/All,
Thanks for sharing this. Its great news.I found a demonstration of this on
YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnv8raphv28.
Did anyone else come across any other model of Sony Bravia or other brands
where the TV and also the DTH settop box menus become accessible?
Thanks,
Pranay.

it is not a big deal. you can either press Mute button on Tata Sky or
checkout the program guide from the android section of the tv.

Hi Sir, Great to hear...
But how do you differentiate the Talkback voice when the TV programme is
running? Will the volume MUTE button mutes only the TV programme volume or
the talkback voice also gets muted?

Dear all,
I have been able to get a talking TV and more importantly get screen
reader access to the list of channels and program guide of Tata Sky,
one of the DTH service providers. This is how it became possible.
1. Purchased Sony Bravia Android TV. My TV model number is Sony
KD-49X7500E. I think other models in the Sony Bravia Android series
should also work.
2. Activated Talkback on the TV. It required sighted assistance to go
into the settings and accessibility option. After Talkback started, I
have been able to use the TV menus and its Android OS independently
with the remote control.
3. YouTube, Netflix and many other apps are pre-installed on the TV.
I can search and play programs with the help of Talkback. This TV
also has voice search function and it is very accurate. Amazon Prime
video app is not working with Talkback.
4. This TV has a feature which allows it to detect connected Tata Sky
set top box. The Tata Sky can be operated with the TV remote, once
setup there is no need to use the Tata Sky remote, you can do
everything with the TV remote.
5. The TV has a pre-installed app called Program Guide. This app can
be opened to see the Guide which lists the channels with current
programs or one can also view list of programs by different genres.
Talkback works properly here. One can browse through the list of
channels and programs and select them to view.
Additionally now I have been able to connect my TV with Amazon Alexa.
The Sony Bravia and Alexa support each other. Sony has a app on the
TV and Alexa has the skill which need to be configured.
Now I can just ask Alexa to Switch On the TV, Volume up/mute, ask
Alexa to put a channel number on the TV. Even switching channel name
is supported.
For example Alexa change channel to Times Now on TV. However, saying
the name always does not work. This is probably also because there
are so many similar channel names such as Colors, Colors HD, Colors
HD plus etc. ,
I wish we get talking set top boxes soon. but for the time being I
have a working solution in my home.
thanks,
Prashant Ranjan Verma
