it is m5570 series. The salesman informed me that you can use dish tv, 
videocon, also. when I explored the tv, it was detecting videocon and saying

Dear friends,

regarding this ,
I came across a settop box "Re TV" were it converts our usual tv into
smart android tv, let me check the details and share it here,
I had stumbled on a youtube presentation in tamil.
let me check with the company and let you know .
this tv Box ,seems to be working in Lollypop version.
so I am assuming with less cost , we may have talk back also enabled.

[bhawani shankar verma]

Today I visited shop and tried samsung and sony android TV. talkback was 
working fine on samsung but on sony talkback loaded without speech. there 
may be some tts related issue. there is one advantage on samsung tv that you 
need not to attach settop box on it. instead samsung is providing a slot to 
insert your dth card in the tv. once your subscription be activated, you can 
access all the features of your dth service.

The manual says that it will support most Keyboards and mouse although no

Regarding supporting Bluetooh speakers, my model does not support it. 
There
are few other models which are supporting bluetooth speakers or

However, there is one workaround by which bluetooth headphone or spaeker

there are bluetooth transmitters that plug into the 3.5 mm headphone jack

be used to get TV sound on bluetooth headset or speaker.

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,

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 Prashant sir,  your tv model choice much higher in terms of cost which 
many may not afford.  However, I have selected  sony kdl43w800d costing 
about 60k in flipcart.  I request you and others learned members to advise 
whether  this particular tv is good enough for  us to work on in terms of 
specifications and features. Thanks and P. Subramani   - Original

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

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?

Re: [AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

This needs to be investigated. there are many android TVs in the market.
what we need to find out from the manufacturer is if they support any
particular set top box.
the tv remote should work with the dth set top box and it should have a
integrated program guide.
unfortunately even though the tv may have all this, one will actually need
to test whether or not it works with talkback.

Subject: [AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

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

Subject: [AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

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

[AI] How TV and satellite channels became accessible in my home

[Prashant Ranjan Verma]

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
