Have more of it available on many more stations, honestly. Currently it works well and even gets captured by my DirectTV DVR, but the shows that are described aren't the ones that I ultimately want description for. It should also be a lot easier to activate SAP from the native remotes that come with cable/satellite/TV systems. Really want premium networks like HBO, Showtime, AMC, etc. to get with the times and start offering AD for their shows.

Also, if the channel presents with 5.1 audio, switching to SAP must not crush the show audio into 2.0 stereo sound. That pisses me off to no end for both TV shows and when watching DVD/Blu-rays.

I’ve never been able to figure out how to use it, unfortunately. I wish I could just push a button to turn it on, but it seems more complicated than that.

i dislike most description and find it useless at achieving what it’s meant to. i think the standardized guidelines surrounding description make for a poor and uninformed experience, meant more to benefit sighted people’s egos than anything else. i’m very skeptical about what people CHOOSE to describe as well. like, how lackluster and undetailed will a sex scene be? what details of someone’s appearance will the AD track decide are supposed to matter to me? (for example: not mentioning a character’s race, which later makes a throwaway comment she makes sound weird and contextless.)

it’s just obnoxious that if an AD track already isn’t good or compelling, i’ll have to deal with it deciding which details are appropriate for me to know as well. there’s other problems like AD being out of sync with music or dialogue, but most of my issue is that.
