NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

I'm asking on behalf of my sweetheart...

On the NTL TV Guide, after the blurb about the programme, there are sometimes some letters in brackets.

S refers to subtitles, but what does AD mean?

Audio Description?

Thats the only thing that springs to mind immediately.

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

I'm pretty sure dezzo is right. It's a voice over description of the action for blind/ partially sighted "viewers".

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

Could it mean ADULT ?

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

Nah, audio description sounds right. AFAIS, its not even available anyway, yet.

I don't think so it was in the description for Emmerdale lol

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

AD could also mean Adult Discretion, if it is after an adult type programme

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

It stands for ABSOLUTE DREARINESS [COLOR=Black] then

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

Awww Fireman I like Emmerdale lol

Re: NTL TV Guide - what does AD mean?
 

If you look at the programme synopsis on Digiguide it gives all the features in full and AD is Audio Description as Dezzo said. http://www.tvhelp.org.uk/audes/whatis.html tells you a little more.

If you don't use Digiguide you are missing out on the best listing service there is.

Thanks Ian, and those of you who contributed your suggestions.

I rarely watch the telly here. Our son does most of the TV watching - crud like the Disney channel and cartoons :rolleyes: - and Julie loves her Emmerdale, Corrie and her docusoaps.

Me? I surf the net and play PC games. :D
