Best Low Vision Cable tv or streaming services (self.Blind)
submitted by de_railtoad
I know the title is unclear but I really need help finding a cable subscription or streaming service that is easy to navigate for my father. He is low vision and has cognitive functioning problems. he has trouble reading but when he focuses he can make out letters, he can use a remote controls basic usage of changing channels and volume. He is low income, right now we are using a channel master antenna that picks up a few channels but goes in and out. I need something more reliable, cheap and easy for him to use. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

OK I have a few suggestions one of them is getting a Cox subscription I don’t know exactly what you have to ask for but I know we have Cox cable and our remotes have those voice features were you just say like a certain channel or app like YouTube or Netflix and it automatically goes to it there is also a built-in screen reader sometimes it’s a little wonky but for the most part it works pretty well and there is an option to enable audio descriptions so any movie or TV show that is playing that provides audio descriptions will automatically start playing them or another option is getting an Amazon fire cube I’ve heard those are pretty accessible never owned one myself but it looks pretty promising it has built-in Alexa and you can get pretty much all of the streaming applications such as Netflix Hulu HBO Disney+ and probably a couple ideas that I can’t think of at the moment and most of those applications offer audio descriptions as well not to mention that the fire cube also has a built-in screen reader which might be a little better than the one that comes with Cox cable
