Subtitles

Subtitles aaarrrrggghh.

I rely 100% on subtitles as my hearing is poor and imprecise.

Having to interrupt programme selection, fiddle about with settings in order to get subtitles.

Also find that programme download (not recorded!) Does not offer subtitles.

Useless, I had to cancel contract with SKY and revert to Virgin media.

The availability of subtitles will always depend on the programme and also will depend on the playback service that the content is being played from. Also because the sky streaming platform is a amalgamation of streaming content in one place, you will need to make sure you have the subtitles options turned on in each of the various on-demand apps you are using to watch content, e.g ITV X, IPayer, Disney + etc.
