Hi.
downloaded the BBC IPlayer a couple of days ago and, after some
phaffing around, have got it to work.
My first programme is the first episode of Michael Palin's New Europe,
which I've a few days left to watch. I'm disappointed though that I'm
lumbered with the person signing for the deaf on-screen. As if to add
insult to injury - well for me - theirs no audio description on my
download and I know their is on the TV broadcasts. Could I, should i,
have chosen an AD version at download, and have got to choose not to
have on-screen signing for the deaf?
Sure it is a good thing that signing support is there, but it says
something to me that AD isn't and the place of our needs in disability
access terms.
I cannot find anything in the IPlayer to turn off signing or turn on
Audio description, by the way.
Picture and sound quality are fine.
