Thanks Gary. Well, it's sort of a toggle, in that there's a key which takes you into a menu where AD is the 2nd item. However, that becomes "greyed out" on these occasions and, of course, there's no speech feedback. Once you get to AD you then have to guess it's not on any more and "Enter" but, as I say, it's rather hit and miss ...
I guess that's the advantage of the freeview box here, though we really don't want yet another device in our cabinet so opted for a freeview TV.
Your feedback was indeed helpful so thanks for that. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Gary Robinson" <gary.r30@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 10:32 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio Description Out?
Carol, if I am correct in the assumption that you mean Audio Description on all channels on Freeview, then it hasn't been out for me. I have noticed however that on both main BBC/ITV channels it has been dropping out at program start or part way through. the talking Freeview box does however allow you to quickly toggle ad off/on and this usually brings it back in these cases. Can you do a similar thing with the remote on your television or is it only permanently on/off as determined by a configuration setting in one of the system menus?

Before I take this further, can anyone tell me that they did not have audio description for part of this week. We appeared to be out again from Monday evening till this morning. We are wondering if the fault lies with our new TV. (We get a visual message about audio visuals up) but what this means we really don't know. Thanks for any further help you can give on this one. -- Carol P ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
