They aren't covered? Then what is the point of the law? Patti

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.
