Re: [AI] Very simple and cheap way to Accessible TV experience

2019-05-18 Thread sampath raj rao
Hi how about its net connectivity?
Do we be mandated to use their service through ethernet as I have seen
in their setboxes the provision for ethernet connectivity or can we
connect it through wifi?,
What else features are their, such as connecting keyboards, web cams
and apps and also what about its remote, is it accessible and tactile
or touch remote.
Your review would be of much use to most of us who are in look for an
accessible android TV...
Thanking you,

It may not be compatible with only Speakers, Set top boxes are
programmed to stream video and audio at a time, to a television, so
only it will work with television,
connecting to only speakers may not be compatible.
But who knows? Anything is possible these days, try, if you get
successful, share your experience with us.

Subject: [AI] Very simple and cheap way to Accessible TV experience

Dear all,

I just tried out the Airtel Android Settop box, thanks to Rajpal for informing 
me.

Airtel TV is selling this settop box for just  Rs. 3,500. The dish antenna and 
installation charges are included.

The settop box has android OS. I could go into settings and switch on Talkback.

The best part is it is reading the channel names and programs as I go to next 
or previous channel. I can also press the down arrow key and read aloud the 
next program on the channel.



With this, there is no need to buy the expensive Sony or Samsung TVs. It will 
work with any TV which has HDMI connection. You can install this Airtel settop 
box and enjoy satellite channels as well as apps like Netflix, Youtube etc.

It is also possible to pause and rewind live TV. You can also save programs by 
connecting hard disk. It has many more features. Actually it is like a andoid 
mobile phone connected to the TV.



If you want accessible TV then this is worth trying out.  If this had come out 
earlier, I would have purchased it instead of the 85,000 Sony TV



I was told by Airtel staff that this is in the market for several months now. 
Unfortunately, we did not hear about it in our circles.



Best,



Prashant Ranjan Verma
