Voyager for the visual impaired

jabarrett35

I sure someone else has noticed this. However here goes; I happened to go Sky one at 0000 at the start of Voyager big deal you say. On the English Sky one there is a voice over which describes whats happening but on the Irish Sky one there is now voice over. Are the visual impaired of RoI being treated as second class citizens by SKY(though way that should surprise me I've no idea. I think I notice this a while back but only realised that Uk Sky one was that different when I order a new FTV card so now use the feed from the living room for the BBC and CH5.
Has anyone else notice anyother variation between the UK and Irish Sky channels(apart from ads)?

Have you tried changing the setting in the "languages" section to "narrative" while you're watching the Irish Sky One ?

Once you do it there Charles, it does it for all the channels.

Its a bug or an oversight, jabarrett35, I'd e-mail backchat about that.

Hiya Damo,

I understand what you're saying, but I thought that maybe John had a sub and an FTA box. Hence the idea that maybe one (the Beeb one) was already set to narrative.

Hence the confusion (or my confusion).

Yes, I looked to see what lanuage settings were and both boxes they are both in narrative but only the UK sub gives narrative. I've got a Irish sub in my bedroom and a UK sub in the living room. Though I can watch the UK one in the bedroom thats how I noticed it. The bedroom is the newer boxes of the two.

Ok, then its down to the fact that there are two versions of Sky One, one UK and one Irish, the only difference being Irish ads on the Irish one.

As I said, its an oversight, thats a good one for backchat.
