How do I turn off voice-over service on ipad?

(Please read this all the way through to avoid confusion)
When I watch certain channels On Demand on my ipad, there is a voice-over for the visually impaired .. a narrator that describes every single little thing the characters are doing (which is amusing when it's a sex scene). I cannot find any way to turn this off. It's mostly on USA network. I have looked everywhere and can't find a way to shut it off. It has nothing to do with the closed-captioning, or the audio/secondary audio function. Can anyone help?

See this Apple doc -> iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
VoiceOver
If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default; to enable it, tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device by pressing volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on. Try triple-tapping using three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain. Or connect the device to iTunes (see above).
You can also turn it off from iTunes, that document goes over that too.

Out of no where, voice over seems to have taken over my phone. can't enter password. how do I reset or turn off voice over?

Out of no where my phone suddenly showed enlarged numbers and letters. Voice Over has taken over the phone.
The phone is unresponsive when I try to enter the password to gain accesss to the phone. I can only power on and off and that does not stop Voice Over. Any ideas as to what could be wrong and how I correct it?

Greetings midgiesmom58,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that VoiceOver is enabled on your iPhone and you are having a hard time turning it off. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the Managing Accessibility features using your device section in the attached article and use iTunes to help you disable VoiceOver.

How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.
