Accessibility Comments

Completely accessible. Not everything is going to work the same on the Apple TV, but the app itself is fully accessible.

Usability

Fully Accessible

Other Comments

One thing I don't like is that when you select a program, such as a described video, after doing a search, when you next hit the back button on the remote, instead of returning you to your search results, it returns you to the described programming home page. I am just using that as an example, but hope it makes sense. Just something to keep in mind when using the app.
