hi I have just joined this list and look forward to learning from the
experts!
as for sky plus: call me mean stingy what ever! but there is no way I would
be using SMS as it costs money. I would also be interested to know more
about sky plus, so come on then lets hear from these people that no more?
or will you have to kill us if you tell? (smile)

Hi Nigel,
Well, there is a few things I could say about this but suffice to say I've
gone down the same road as yourself. I have also heard that sky are
planning an accessible version of accessing sky plus but like yourself, I
basically hit upon a brick wall. I certainly know of people on this list
who are involved with trialing this system but of course, nothing has been
forthcoming. I do believe though that there are a couple of systems being
trialed. One involves communicating with your sky plus box via SMS and the
other is via a web interface.
Perhaps at some point we will learn more about this!
Steve

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
