Hi Steve.

Thanks for the advice.  By the way, I don't have a "Smart Search facility"  I 
only have Quick Search and Advanced Search.  Anyway, I typed in Audio Described 
and got a load of programmes showing today which are AD.  All I need do now is 
make up my mind as to whither to watch 24 or Broken Arrow.  The latter 
unfortunately, is not audio described.  Steve, did you get sighted help to set 
up DigiGuide for you?  I purchased the program about a month ago and still 
experiencing great difficulties with it.  I've written to the support link 
twice but they have not got back to me.  I've even asked for assistance from 
this list, but it would seem that there are very few list members using 
DigiGuide as I did not get much feed-back.  Are you aware of any tutorial 
sensitive to screen reader users that I can read, or source of support.

Thanks again for your advice.

Best wishes.

Andy

  Hi Andy,

  Just set up a smart search for the keywords "audio described", without the 
quotes, and that's all you'll get.

  All the best

  Hi Steve.

  Yes, I noticed that also and on a number of occasions.  It's really 
frustrating as I'm beginning to watch only AD stuff.  Incidentally, I usually 
visit: http://www1.sky.com/accessibility/tvguide.htm to get an idea which 
programs are audio described each evening.  However, this sometimes proves 
inaccurate.  Do you know of another method of listing only AD programmes.  I 
purchased DigiGuide a few weeks ago but still experiencing difficulty setting 
it up.  It would really be useful if I could get a list each day of only the AD 
programmes.


  Best wishes.
  Andy

    Hi All

    Do any of you watch 24 on a Sunday evening on Sky 1?  have you noticed the 
AD seems to have vanished on the last two episodes?
