Re: Accessible PC to TV devices?

2011-10-07 Thread Kathy Szinnyey
Hi, Johnny! Actually, I didn't get an anwer at all to my question. 
Interestingly, my sighted husband and I just got  beck from Best Buy with a 
device from Western Digital, which might do better than the roku. I am told 
you can't ooperate any of these devices from your computer but that 
everything is done through an inaccessible remote control used for these 
devices. But I'll keep you posted as to any work-arounds I might discover. 
Smile.


Cheers,
Kathy

As always, any advice would be much appreciated!

pogoplug

2011-10-07 Thread Dave bahr
Hi list, does anyone have this pogoplug program? I just downloaded it 
and I am pretty lost. It's not horribly accessible. But someone on here 
mentioned it when I had brought up streaming media, but I'm lost. I'm 
looking at the help files online but they are made for sighted users. 
help? please? thanks,
