Hi Jackie, In that case the RNIB AD team are talking nonsense. It was from them 
I got the Instructions to set-up AD on my TV, and the 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,

  Hi Billy

  You would need to ask Virgin Media about providing this in some way, but I 
thought it wasn't available through them.  This may have changed though, so 
don't take my word for that.

  Your alternative might be to purchase a box that carries 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 just have it and stop the nonsense I 
say. (smiles.)

    Jackie, as you know I have Virgin Media cable tv. I had AD setup on my 
portable television in my bedroom, but it doesn't work for me. 
    I have tried to contact the RNIB AD helpline, but keep getting an answering 
machine, where I left many messages asking 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,

      I think so yes.  There is a national campaign going on.
