I heard there may be some work happening on this talker but don't know any 
more. Just a random rumour to throw into the melting pot.

I've always felt it was more of a side project from interested people within 
Sky rather than a core Sky product but I've got nothing to back that notion up 
with. From our point of view, the frustrating thing is that not enough time or 
research is going into it if the current product and the time delays are 
anything to go by. But let's see. 

I heard that RNIB had a go at extracting the data from the Sky menus and EPG to 
see what sense it made and if it could be worked on for accessibility. I 
believe the answer came back that they would need to first change the way they 
output the data to everybody, before they can then start to make it accessible. 

Or maybe I'm remembering it all wrong. Still, it's something to talk about 
isn't it.

Hi Jeff
Have you checked with local independent sat dealers in your area for a Sky 
standard box?
