How Can I Get Star Wars: The Force Awakens With Descriptive Audio Without Buying A DVD? (self.Blind)
submitted by Southpaw5000
So I've been doing a lot of looking around today trying to figure out if iTunes has decided to let us use descriptive audio tracks or not yet and I can't find anything that looks promising. We were hoping to get the new Star Wars movie but I don't want to buy it if descriptive audio isn't an option and I really don't want to go buy a DVD like it's 2005. Hehehe.
Help me /r/blind. You're my only hope!

Oh never mind. We decided to just buy it on the Apple TV and the descriptive audio track plays by default as long as the setting is turned on. Crisis averted!

That's actually really good info! Last I heard, the audio description isn't even on the DVD, it's only on the blue-ray. Good to know it's on apple TV; I don't own a blue-ray player.

Yeah as long as you have the accessibility settings turned on so they will automatically play the track it will work. That's all we did

I've never done it myself but I knew a guy who rented dvd red box and just pirated the dvds if they had descriptive audio. I normally stick to the Blue Rays myself, but the rental and checking out at the public library is always an option.

Yeah I've never been super big on finding ways to get stuff for free. I don't mind supporting the work these people have done with a little cash. The library though, that's a great idea! I tend to forget that those still exist!
