Surely this is on topic.

I know about get_iplayer.  I'm actually interested in reception of live TV 
and radio.  I figure this could avoid some of the accessibility issues 
with hardware set-top boxes, plus I'd just like to do it.  And there'd 
also be the possibility of recording things to listen to later.

There would seem to be two issues:

1.  Find compatible hardware.   This should be easy enough.

2.  For playing audio description, finding a way of mixing the main 
program audio with the description stream.
