The change over from analogue to digital TV broadcasting in the UK will have a significant impact on how viewers watch TV. All users - disabled as well as able bodied - will need to select TV programmes and schedule recordings using an on-screen electronic programming guide, or EPG for short.

Anyone using a Sky or Freeview set top box will already be using an EPG accessed through the remote that came with their receiver.

But individuals with limited hand and finger dexterity will likely find it difficult to press the small buttons on standard remotes and, instead, may prefer an adapted device to operate their TV and Sky or Freeview receiver. Moving to an on-screen electronic programming guide will likely make it more difficult for these individuals to watch their favourite programmes.

To address this issue we have started work on a switch adapted, larger button, remote that will help disabled individuals navigate the EPG on their digital TV, Sky, Sky Plus, or Freeview receivers and recorders.

We've called the device "Domino". Over the next month or so we will complete the development work and CE testing. Our goal is to have units available commercially in time for the Beijing Olympics in August 2008.
