Description
This document summarises the reports of satellite services (Sky and Freesat), cable services (Virgin Media), paid-for digital terrestrial services (BT Vision and Top-Up TV) and companies which provide EPGs that are installed in digital television receivers (including set top boxes) (Inview, Rovi). By law Ofcom is required to produce, and from time to time revise, a code, which gives guidance on the provision of EPGs. Section 9 of the code requires EPG providers to produce statements as to how they plan to facilitate the use of their EPGs by disabled people.
