Subtitles for heard of hearing


Recommended Posts

Until about 6 weeks ago I found it easy to get subtitles on BBC 1 and BBC 2. Now when I press the subtitle button to my Videostat box I get redirected to a teletext page where I get the message 'charging'. However nothing more happens. I can still get subtitles on ITV and on the BBC News Channel. Has anyone any suggestions for getting subtitles back?

I'm not familiar with your receiver, but I can tell you that the sub titles are working ok on my receiver.

Have you tried the usual actions when something like this happens with digital equipment - i.e. pull the plug out of the mains - count to ten - then plug back in?

Maybe worth a try?

Thanks for the suggestion Tim but switching off and on again does not fix it. My TV is a Trans Continents, cheap Chinese-made from Leclerc. It has worked well for 4 years. I use the Astra satellite, free-to-air and have a French Videostat box. I am in Brittany. I think the problem is that I am unable to access teletext messages and that the BBC may have changed the system some weeks ago to teletext. Before that titles worked well with BBC and it still does with ITV. Do you get your subtitles on a telext page?
