Well, Glen, I completely agree with you--and while my exact comment may be a bit off-topic, just try-and work a new hdtv tuner, or try-and-navigate a menu on Dish Network? While customer service will try-and-help, more often you must have sighted asistance. But its really as much a mindset that blind people don't "watch" TV. I've tried pointing out to engineers at both satelite companies, some of the helpful changes they could make. I think for example, VCRs became less friendly in 1988 when they removed the direct entry channel pad from the units. Hart
