If you get the PBS Video app to work, please post specific details on how to 
find the Ken Burns Country Music documentary and episode guide. I saw the post 
from Kay Malmquist mentioning how all 8 episodes of the documentary were 
available on the PBS Video app and that no account was needed to access them. I 
didn't find the PBS Video app at all accessible and I was presented with a grid 
of pictures of the various available programs and Voiceover didn't speak 
anything to indicate what they were. If there is some workaround to find these 
episodes and play them with the app, I'd love to hear how.

Subject: RE: An audio description question

 

I recorded last night’s show not knowing that it had audio description so I 
didn’t turn it on. Tonight I scheduled the recording for the second episode and 
was going to turn on DVS but since the first airing of this show was still on I 
thought I’d check it out and it’s in Spanish. So, that’s just probably what 
this local station is doing!

 

I may try that PBS app!

 

Thanks!

I too watched the same show last night with audio description and it was very 
good. The second part is coming on tonight and maybe another night this week. I 
think it will also be on next Sunday night but not absolutely certain of that.

Pbs is not doing a very good job with audio description these days. 

Complain to whomever you bought it through.

Also, are you saying you watched it live on TV with audio description it worked?

It most certainly should be available then in what you purchased.

Double check the audio settings in whatever app you used to watch the purchased 
copy to make sure there isn't another place to enable it.

I'd be asking about a refund if it were me.

Perhaps if you wrote to the vendor, you might get satisfaction based on an

Thank you for your response.  In my case, while watching on PBS, I had audio 
description.  But when I was notified that the first episode was in my TV 
library, I didn't have description.  I've already purchased the season pass.  
So I guess my personal copy of this series will exclude audio description even 
though it's available.

I don’t usually reply to these messages. However! I feel very strongly about 
this. My husband and I wanted to listen to this last night and we did without 
the video description but you are absolutely correct we wanted to know who it 
was that was speaking at the time and to get some of the information about the 
background scenes. It looks like it’s going to be a great wonderful excellent 
Ken Burns special.

Hello Friends,

 

I have an audio description question.  First, let me assure you that I have 
audio description turned on in settings.  That being said, I bought the season 
pass for the latest Ken Burns documentary series about country music, the first 
episode of which aired last night on PBS.  I "watched" the program with audio 
description.  The first episode is now in my TV library but without audio 
description.  For the most part, I won't need it.  But it's helpful to have 
when people are speaking and you're not sure who's speaking.  I should also 
mention that I ordered it in SD instead of HD because, as a blind person, I 
don't need to own the high-definition format since I’m using either an iPhone 
or iPod.  But if the audio description's only in the HD version, shouldn't that 
have been made clear when I was making the purchase?  Any suggestions would be 
helpful.  But then, perhaps I just have to settle for owning this excellent 
documentary without description.

 

 

Peace & Blessings, 

Duane L. Steele
