Jaws with DirecTV or Dish

Michael Baldwin #20801 I have Dish now and have for several years. It seems there has been lots of advancement in both companies receivers and such. Does one site over the other have better Jaws accessibility? My current old receiver does not give me access to a lot of the newer features that come with upgraded equipment. I would like to be able to set the DVR to record, or play my own recorded shows without having my sited wife do it all. Experiences with both companies and their newer receivers with Jaws and other technologies would be appreciated. Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jeff M. <mplsjeffm@...> #20804 I did have dish network and now have DIRECTV. I will say that you can program your DirecTV from the DirecTV website. It takes a bit of time to set it up but I will use it to tag some shows to record on to our DVR. On your DVR, you can get the SAP sound feed for audio description by pushing the green button or by going to audio settings tab from the banner that shows when you change channels. Dish networks website is less usable to set up and record programs. Also, the new Dish network receiver called the hopper does not have the capability to get the SAP feed at all Don't know if either Dish or DIRECTV are going to be bringing out a set top box with a screen reader built in.

Brent Harding #20816 I found on my parents' DirecTV that the description even works on already recorded shows even though they don't use the feature. I suppose the DirecTV DVR's just store the raw stream to disk and then decode it as if it came off the satellite when you hit play. I hope that my next apartment is hooked up for DirecTV, usually, the places that offer a discount or free basic package use either Dish or DirecTV, but some, unfortunately, convert it into analog cable where the sap will certainly be lost. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff M." <mplsjeffm@...> To: "'The Jaws for Windows support list.'" <jfw@...> Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 12:44 PM Subject: RE: Jaws with DirecTV or Dish I did have dish network and now have DIRECTV.

Jeff M. <mplsjeffm@...> #20819 On DirecTV on the remote just push the green button. It will cycle between English and SAP. The other way to set that SAP setting so it always stays on is to arrow to the audio tab on the banner that shows when you press info or change channels. Arrow to audio then arrow down to SAP.
