Hi Regina, Yes I know about the screen reader on Dish and I do use it in the living room but our 2 other tvs do not have the screen reader even though I was told when I called Dish to inquire about their service that we would have the screen reader functionality in every room with a tv.
It is true that in the living room I can use the guide and it is very slow to go through all of the channels but I would like to be able to quickly view thee listings in an app because this would be much quicker. I am going to keep bugging Dish about the poor accessibility of their app until they decide that it would be better for them to just make it usable for all of their customers.
