To be honest I have not listened to them. I talked to a few people on this
list a couple of years ago and per there suggestions I went off and bought a
usb tv tuner, hooked it up to my incomming cable, and had a sighted friend
help me with setup. It worked so unbelievably well.
Now that I am living in California we have at&t u-verse so I cannot use my
media center and I'm forced to memorize menus and such with the stupid cable
box. I feel I should only have to pay a small percentage of this damn bill
because I can't access more than half of the features.
Anyway sorry for the rant.
I guess the answer is no, but I really hate one word or one line answers.

Yah, but would you say it's any easyer or harder than the XP one? Or hav
you
not listened to the 2 pod casts that Larry did on blind cool tech? I mean,
from what you're saying, I guess it's about the same. Right?

Hi I have used media center with windows 7. Once set up it is perfect! I
mean perfect!
First of all, you get to have a guide like the sighted folks. Your
channels
go down the left side of the table. When you want to see what's on that
channel simply hit right arrow and each show is listed. You can get more
info about a show, or if it's on right now just enter to go to that
channel.
And you can see the whole line up for a few days by using your right
arrow.
I was amazed the first time. To think how cool it would be to have it like
that on a real tv.
The program is very usable by both jfw and window-eyes. The record
settings,
the recorded shows, even the online tv stuff!
I think that 245 dollar program is really not worth the money. IMhO bb

When I had my XP, with USB TV tuner card, and was using Windows Media
Center, I could either use Page up to go up a channel number or Page
down to go down a number. I also could just type in the number to go
to it directly.
I am hoping that windows 7, will be as easy to use.

Are you changing topics because I don't understand the question. With
a TV tuner card connected to your PC, you would change channels using
some media software on your PC. I think Windows Meda Center has been
mentioned on this list, but there are other options, such as Beyond TV.
I'm not sure anymore what the accessible options are.
I'm not sure what the options are with respect to controlling your
set top box, satellite box or cable box from your PC.

how do you control the sat top box or the cable box with the
computer as far as changing channels etc?

You just need a TV tuner card. I know you can get internal cards
and external USB attached cards. You just plug an antenna, cable or
whatever into them.

Interesting, David, and thanks for the info on the Code Factory
product. I'd like to find something that works with a screen
reader rather than having to buy a separate application just to
get tv access, but it is worth looking into, I suppose.
