Subtitles/closed captions not working properly

The subtitles on NowTV have never been great, but after a recent update of the NowTV Player they're absolutely awful.

 

They'll show a single line of speech frozen on the screen for 5 minutes, before showing another single line and cutting out again. Obviously this is just as useless as no subtitles at all - and from a quick scan of the forums I'm not the only person experiencing issues with rubbish captioning.

 

If NowTV is actively trying to drive away its deaf and hard of hearing customers, it's going the right way about it.

Absolutely agree, still December 2019 and subtitles are rubbish. I'm not going to renew my subscription. Hello Disney+

Same here.

I am not paying for a platform that cannot provide a basic service that everybody else provides.

It’s nothing short of disgraceful that this hasn’t been given immediate attention - I guess nowtv are just completely prejudice against deaf people?

 

What is the point of this community, it doesn’t appear that it is monitored by the company.

Joined NowTV a few days ago and the subtitles are not working properly. The subs freeze for many seconds before they are updated. That's a shame.
