Jackie, yes it is a good auld Scottish term of endearment, used recently by the best Scottish talk show presenter in the Universe: Scottie McClue.Scottie had a chat phone-in program on Talk107 fm each night from Sunday to Thursday. Just a good old talk show where you could blether aboot anything on your mind. And Dinky Doo was the Endearment the great man welcomed callers. Basically, it means how are you or hope you are well: take your pick as they say,Dinky Doo Billy----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 9:05 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio descripption ontelevisionHi BillyJust out of interest, what does Dinky Doo mean? Is it some Scottish jargon I haven't caught on to yet?

Do you subscribe to digital TV in Wishy? You need both, Billy. Dinky doo. Hope you hear from Scot McClue shortly. If you do, let me know what air wave he's travelling? Get a digital TV, Billy.

What a carry on. They just haven't got a clue. The guy was going on about sub titles, and I was pulling out the little hair I have left. I finally got him to understand me, and he put me through thethe fault line. The girl wasn't too much help either.She told me which tv channels were AD supported by VM. Which are only 851 to 855, I thanked her, and went through each one of those channels. They all had the AD banner, but no audio discription was apparent. Surely at least one of them were broadcasting the AD at that moment. I'm even more confusedafter talking with VM.

Maybe someone on the list using Virgin Media could clarify this. I'm sure that I heard they don't support it, and that it is only Sky or on certain models of Freeview box. Totalnonsense! good grief!!

It was from them I got the Instructions to set-up AD on my TV, andthe Instructions were for Virgin Media. No way am I calling VM, it would cost a small fortune. It seems every call now is passed to the techy team at a considerable cost, no thanks, Dinky Doo Billy----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns <mailto:cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 11:55 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio descripption ontelevision Hi Billy You would need to ask Virgin Media about providingthis in some way, but I thought it wasn't available through them. This mayhave changed though, so don't take my word for that. Your alternative might be to purchase a box thatcarries it, but I personally don't understand all this crap about not having AD on all appliances that carry Freeview or satellite channels. Let's justhave it and stop the nonsense I say. (smiles.)

I had AD setup on my portable television in my bedroom, but itdoesn't work for me. I have tried to contact the RNIB ADhelpline, but keep getting an answering machine, where I left many messagesasking for them to get in contact with me, but as per usual, not heard anything. Just to say, that everything is not all it seems with AD, Dinky Doo Billy----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns<mailto:cairnsplace@xxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 10:30 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio descripption ontelevision I think so yes.
