How to stop voice overs.

ABC shows suddenly have annoying voice overs narrating. What gives?
Modern Family, Suburgatory . . . I haven't changed any settings on my tv and my Dvr has been recording normally. It's annoying. How do I get it to stop?

Most likely it is "Audio Description" : Audio Description, or more correctly Video Description, refers to an additional narration track for the blind and visually impaired.
There should be a setting on your TV to turn it on or off.

This happened to me a few months ago, also on ABC. It seems they're testing the newly mandated description service, without warning or the ability to turn it off. It'll stop in a few days. When it first happened, I thought Happy Endings was doing some odd conceptual episode.

Solutions in the linked threads indicate the problem is on ABC's end, not yours. Call your cable company or local ABC affiliate; they are probably transmitting the descriptive video channel accidentally.
