Sorry all I did really confuse people.
I can get Audio Description on my TV both on Freeview and SKY.
Audio description is permanently on with my TV and everything we connect to it.
My sighted pal was staying for the weekend and he turned on I-Player on my TV.
It would appear as Jeff says the BBC does not provide audio description on the 
I-Player unless you access it on a computer through Webbie.
My neighbour's son is also blind and he confirmed this to me about half an hour 
ago.
What is worse is that the problem has not been resolved by the new internet TV 
box which is part funded by the BBC.
As I write this it sounds unbelievable so I am going to write to the BBC.
I hope I am not misinforming people, or rather I hope I am as it seems dreadful 
if it is true.
Niamhh
