If you have more than one device connected to your TV you can always get a box to switch between devices rather than changing via the remote.

Its going to vary TV to TV how and which buttons to press, but it can be done. Just sit down with a sighted friend or family member, and have them walk you through it a few times. You'll get it.

I assume, that changing the input on the TV to that HDMI cable, might require some assistance from somebody else. And less one of course, is totally familiar with how to make those kinds of adjustments on their TV flying blind as it were.

Additionally, the amount of questions that could be answered by a very simple Google search is also astounding. Whenever I consider if I should ask a question of the list, I first ponder if instead of waiting for potentially hours for someone to answer it I can spend a couple of minutes trying to Google for the solution. For example, performing a Google search for "apple TV voiceover" produces many useful results, the top three of which contain instructions as to how it can be enabled. However, to answer your question: 1. Plug Apple TV into your TV using a HDMI cable. If purchased from Apple a HDMI cable will not be supplied. 2. Change the input on your TV to the HDMI port that you have plugged the Apple TV into. 3. Plug the Apple TV into an electrical outlet. 4. If all is well after a minute you should hear instructions pertaining to the enabling of VoiceOver. 5. Press the play button (bottom right on the remote with the circle of buttons facing away from you) 3 times at the same sort of speed that you would triple click home. VoiceOver should now be enabled. NB: if you have AV receivers that you will be connecting through the steps may be slightly different, but the triple click part will remain the same. Cheers, Ben.

The question is, can Voice Over be turned on from the remote prior to setup, or will I need to connect to ITunes and turn accessibility on there for the device? Thanks in advance for the assistance.
