ok so this is clever. The audio description doesn't replace the existing audio, it's added on top. how on earth have they done that?

I mean I understand that they send it out on a separate channel for freeview already, but unlike everywhere else on the web, this doesn't appear to be a single feed.

@cachondo tbh Sean, I didn't notice any of that, I'm just glad they have AD on live programmes on the web iplayer, and not just the digi tv.

It's a very welcome update to be sure, just fascinating from a technologies point of view too.
I could be wrong about what they're doing, I've only listened to it briefly.
in reply to Sean Randall

it's just great to be able to listen to Ad stuff on the pc. I do have a tv, but rarely fire it up now.
