Subtitles

I have just been persuaded to switch from BT TV with a You View Box to ee TV with an ee TV Box Pro. It seems to me that there are considerably less programmes with subtitles on the ee Box. I watch a lot of programmes on iplayer, and almost always employed subtitles, and find that many of the same programmes on the iplayer on ee just don't offer subtitles. Have others found the same? It didn't occur to me that there would be this difference, and it is a serious limitation for me. I have followed the instructions for turning on subtitles, and on occasions they are there, but often the option is simply not on offer.

HI @emany #

I believe the BBC content has a very high percentage of subtitled content.

The EETV documentation on subtitles could/should be better

have a look at

How do I use subtitles on BBC iPlayer? | iPlayer help

I believe you should be able to set the subtitles as described in the section
