I think the matter should be taken to the information and broadcast
ministry. As set top box is made compulsory they can force the DTH provider
to provide talking set top box on demand. 1 more provision can be made that
like gsm sim card we should be able to install any digicard in the set top
box of our choice.
I agree with Jorge sir, the digitization has put new challenges to VI
community not only in DTH Matter but also in other areas of life.
Still Prashant Sir and group of peoples struggle for Talking ATM is not
over, we are facing the problem of inaccessible money deposit machines.
Many of newly constructed buildings has the lift which has touch pad.
New models of of ovens and washing machines has touch pad or even those does
not have the touch pad and has physical keys they are not embossed.
It makes me think that was analog time was better for VI community?

Technically this is possible only when the settop box has built-in TTS.
Service providers are now a days selling boxes of diferent types e.g. with
HD quality, with recording etc.
All they have to do is to introduce the set-top box developed in UK with
RNIB as one of the options.
If the set-top boxes were interchangeable between operators then also we
can just buy such a box from outside india and use in our homes.

Dear George Sir,
Great point you have shared! I would like to share a suggestion. With the
growing demand for the DTH services, the remote controls can have a couple
of extra buttons on it which would be integrated with the whole system.
One
button can be used to switch over the interactive voice and the other
button
can help us in repeating the highlighted message. Rest all the buttons can
continue doing the existing functions.
This would be helpful not only for visually impaired persons, but it would
be of great help to the senior citizens of the country as well.
If convincing, I believe this matter must be escalated to the highest
level.

Hi Folks,
I use Tata Ski at home. With each new set top box, I have been finding
it more and more difficult to navigate the menus. Not sure if the Tata
Ski promoters consider us blind people as stakeholders. When I
started with Tata Ski, I could get to the channels I wanted easily
thanks to the favourite feature. Sadly, with technological advancement
and the more sophisticated the digitisation has become, the more
difficult it has become to navigate. What is the state with other DTH
services?
Given the nation's rush towards digitisation, I am not sure how great
it is going to be for us. On the one hand digital India holds great
promise for us, but if the digitisation process does not consider us
as stakeholders, then we are in for deep trouble.
