Yeah, this right. You need a TV toner that you can put the Comcast card
into. I forgot about this. But when I talked to them, they said it
should
work just fine like it use to. Again, if you all want to go deeper,
which I
would want to, E-mail me off list because when you get into things like
Comcast and the like, I guess we are going beyond the scope of the list.

Gary, This is Vicky. I had thought to work with a TV tuner in my new
Windows
7 computer with Jaws 13, but no go. My ISP, Comcast, says now I will
only be
able to work this with one of their cards, which I will be having
installed
on Wednesday January 4. This will be replacing my Set Top Box, so I'll
be
paying rent on it each month, just like I have done on the Set Top Box.
What ISP provider do you have? What card are you successfully using on
what
computer?
Many thanks for any help! Vicky

Mary,
In my previous post, I said that I didn't have any experience setting
up
Media Center in Windows 7; now I do. Sighted assistance would
definitely
be preferred, but if none is available, I would suggest that the NVDA
screen reader would be the best choice for tackling the setup screens.
I
didn't get anything with Window-Eyes. the OCR in JAWS for Windows 13
did
give me some usable text, but having to Use OCR on every screen gets
rather tedious. NVDA seems to read the setup screens pretty well, but
you
do need to know how to get it to speak the necessary information.
Once set up, you can use your screen reader of choice to access the
Program Guide. I just press Spacebar to get a particular channel in
the
Guide to play or pause. Page Up and Page Down can be used to change
channels.
I'm enjoying having TV on my computer. I'll have to check out the
recording features next.

Oh, there is no way I'm paying that much for a tv app. Forget it. Do
you have experience with the Win media set up under win 7, Gary?
