I understand what you are saying, John, but it is something we as blind 
people are going to have to address.  Everything is becoming more and more 
digital and more and more menu oriented.  And we need access to those 
features.  For example, pretty soon there aren't going to be any more ;new 
VCR's.  There are already no more new Speak-EZ units and parts such as 
remotes are hard to find.  If we are going to be pushed towards DVR, and 
touchpad receivers, the least companies can do is make them accessible to us 
which the technology is there to do.  After all, there is supposed to be an 
ADA isn't there?
