Audio description on demand
Does anyone know when Sky maybe introducing audio description for on-demand/catch-up content? All other major TV providers now offer a considerable ammount of audio described content and would be great to have Sky do likewise. Live programming is available with AD and if you re-start a programme you can also get this audio described which is great but would love to have access to Sky's on-demand box sets and catch-up content with audio description.

Audio Description is not currently available:
- For On Demand or Sky Store content.
- In the Sky Go app, except on recordings on iOS devices.
Might be worth a read for some background and help information here;

Re: Audio description on demand
Thank you, Sky does provide a lot of AD content for live broadcast but I would just like to see this added to on-demand/catch-up and Sky store content. Live viewing is on the decline with most shows now accessed via catch-up and I just think its a shame that despite the audio description having been done for these programmes it is not currently available on-demand.
