The impact is greater when you can't see the UI. How can we improve this?<br /><br />RobDr Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796136132977292184.post-46603324838469613192009-08-25T15:54:06.279+01:002009-08-25T15:54:06.279+01:00Hi Richard

We've also put a "web style" tv guide on a remote that has a decent screen and wireless capabilities - so I can look up the TV epg without disturbing my wife's viewing of Holby City! In reality it would be hard to have a talking epg for remote record due to the high number of TV shows available - currently 50,000 shows plus 90,000 catch up shows at any given time. It's quite easy for sighted people to scan an epg grid and take in lots of information quickly to get round this for visually impaired people is to build wish lists of fave stuff and pull in recommendations and picks of the day to present a personal TV guide.matttvgeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847553891773556432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796136132977292184.post-36956378192197663312009-07-29T11:15:57.928+01:002009-07-29T11:15:57.928+01:00Thanks for the feedback Fergal, there looked to be...Thanks for the feedback Fergal, there looked to be some excellent entries and I certainly applaud Christian Söderholm and Dennis Rosenqvist for their efforts. <br /><br />It’s good to know the red button was put to good use too. <br /><br />We hope to see more of these type of widgets crossing over to the TV in the future.ANThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201763197459144910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796136132977292184.post-73797020476268489422009-07-29T10:18:55.678+01:002009-07-29T10:18:55.678+01:00Hello,
