Can't you use a netgem top box for Sky. Ditto if you're on telewest. Or is
the netgem top box only good for freeview and freeview alone?

Subject: [access-uk] Accessibility of Sky Plus

Hi,
 
I've read the recent posts about Sky Plus with interest, and have been
wondering whether or not to get it, but have concerns over its
accessibility.
 
I believe that it's easy enough to fast forward and rewind using the remote
control, but how easy is it to select programmes to record and then select
them for playback later?  It's all driven from on-screen visual menus isn't
it?  Please can anyone explain the ease/difficulty of use to help me decide
if it's worth going for it.
 
Also, I've read somewhere on the internet that Sky are to bring out an
accessible version of Sky Plus, but when I phoned Sky's disability line,
they didn't know anything about it.  Has anybody else heard anything?  If
it's true, then I'll wait for that, but if it's rumour I could be waiting
for ever.
 
Thanks,
 
Nige
