In this episode, we begin by announcing the availability of two new products. Discovering Terrific TV Content for Less — Cutting The cord with Blindness or Low Vision, our cord cutting virtual event series, is now a home study product for anyone to purchase. It includes over five hours of content on everything from apps to livecontent, and so much more. There are also plenty of demonstrations to assist you in finding the cord cutting options that may work best for you.
While preparing for our cord cutting class, Chris and Kim created Entertainment in a Small Box — A Tour of the Roku Streaming Device. This is an overview and demonstration of the accessibility features of the Roku family of set top boxes.
