I discovered last night after listening to this program that there is an app called PBS video to stream and listen to all things PBS. So, I got curious and downloaded the app on to my iPhone. The ratings are terrible but I went for it anyway. The cool thing is that you don't have to sign in and if you just go to current events or something like that, you can click on it and there are all 8 episodes of the country music series, and you can play them all right now. If you have descriptive audio turned on, on your phone, which I think it is by default, that even works when playing these. How cool is this? I just wanted to let anyone know that is interested in this. Take care.

This is based on my DirecTV schedule for my local public television station so your viewing dates could vary. Peter Coyote narrates the program.

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.

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.

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. Peace & Blessings, Duane L.

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.

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.
