Patti,

Which laws are you referring them to when you said they are not covered?  Be 
specific.

Thanks, Donna. This sounds promising. Did it matter which receiver you got in 
terms of using the app to the maximum? Are there differences in accessibility 
for different receivers? That is, is there any accessibility actually built 
into the receiver that you have or others that you know of? I'm thinking hear 
of something equivalent to the Xfinity thing. My guess is no, since cable boxes 
are not covered under that law that is supposed to make cable and TV sets 
actually become accessible starting next year.

Maybe they are covered. I could be wrong. It sounded like Paul was very sure of 
himself, so he is quite likely correct. I had never heard of things like 
DirecTV and dish being covered, but that could be an oversight or I could've 
just forgotten.

Hi Paul,
Well, that is interesting. I thought the deadline for set-top boxes and 
televisions was the end of this year. You may very well be right. I know I have 
heard lots of people talking about the start of next year as the deadline for 
when TVs must be accessible. And I thought that was true for the cable boxes. 
In any case, it would be nice if it would be true for the satellite TV 
receivers as well. Of course, who knows what will happen after January 20.

 I never thought I would say this, but we might be looking into getting 
 direct TV. This is because I just saw what our Comcast bill will be, once 
 our contract ends next month. The word unacceptable doesn't even start to 
 cover it. Anyway, I see there is an app for DirecTV, and it seems like the 
 app will do a lot. But the question is, does anyone use this app? What 
 parts of it are and are not accessible? Can you actually control the 
 receiver, which I assume is worthless from an excess ability standpoint? 
 What can and can't do you do from the app?

Hello Donna and Mary. I also use the Direct TV app. It's easy to find out what 
time a show is on a particular channel. It's also easy to manage recordings. 
It's difficult to turn on audio description. I understand that set top boxes 
and receivers must be accessible by December 20, 2017.

Re: DirecTV accessibility via the iPhone?

2016-11-19 Thread Donna 
The Direct Tv app is 100% accessible!! There is also a voice feature that one 
can use to locate programs & channels. I love this app because I'm able to 
watch all of the channels I have subscribed to & also watch programs I have 
recorded while away from home. I can also schedule a recording of a program 
when away from home. The best accessible Tv viewing app I have come across.

DirecTV accessibility via the iPhone?

2016-11-18 Thread Mary Otten 
I never thought I would say this, but we might be looking into getting direct 
TV. This is because I just saw what our Comcast bill will be, once our contract 
ends next month. The word unacceptable doesn't even start to cover it. Anyway, 
I see there is an app for DirecTV, and it seems like the app will do a lot. But 
the question is, does anyone use this app? What parts of it are and are not 
accessible? Can you actually control the receiver, which I assume is worthless 
from an excess ability standpoint? What can and can't do you do from the app?
