John and all

One useful addition potentially could be, as in the portset box perhaps, can we 
have only the audio described programs for a week show up on channels?
that way we would have an idea as to which films, documentaries etc. are

just a suggestion. maybe pressing the AD button or something when in the EPG 
could do this?
