📺 Innovating Remote Control Accessibility for TV Programmes 🎛️

Writer: Tim ScannellTim Scannell



For many Deaf 🧏 and Blind 🦯 individuals, navigating TV accessibility features can be frustrating. Searching through the TV guide just to check if a programme has 📜 Subtitles, 🤟 Sign Language, or 🎧 Audio Description wastes valuable time.



💡 What if remote controls had dedicated buttons for these features? A simple press could instantly filter accessible programmes—making TV more inclusive for everyone.







As Deaf viewers, we pay for a 📡 TV license in the UK, yet Blind users receive a discount—raising questions about accessibility equality. A potential solution? A dashboard like BBC iPlayer, where categories for 🔹 Sign Language, 🔹 Audio Description, and 🔹 Subtitles are clearly available. Imagine selecting Question Time and choosing the accessibility option you need—without the extra hassle!



Would this innovation improve accessibility for everyone? Let’s discuss it! 👇
