Thanks for that tip Saqib but I must admit if I was purchasing something like a TV, my 1st question would be 'where are the controls'. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saqib Hussain" <saqibh23@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

What concerns me deeply about these modern sets is that they have a touch control pannel at the front. I bought a tv from Argos and it doesn't have any physical buttons. It's pure madness. I was totally unaware of these touch pannels as I hadn't purchased a tv in at least 3 years.

Not all tv’s unfortunately can receive audio description. If it is available on your set, there may be a menu option for it in the audio language settings in the menu system or there may be a dedicated accessibility menu for settings of this nature. You need to refer to theinstructions supplied with your TV set, upgrade the firmware of the set ifan upgrade is available through the internet or connect a third partyFreeview receiver like the TVonics which has been specifically designed toprovide access to accessibility features. All the best and good luck, Ibrahim.
