Hi @BL515
as far as I'm aware subtitles aren't yet supported on YouView boxes. I believe youview boxes are the only devices that are missing subtitle support, 😞 with regard to now TV. So if you have any other devices that support now TV, you should be able to watch with subtitles

Many thanks for the quick reply👌
Has anyone any idea of when subtitles for Now will be available? I have a tv which is linked to BT Youview and I don't fancy watching Now on my laptop or tablet to access subtitles. It's a real pity as there are so many great programmes but I am pushed toward Netflix and Amazon who both do the right thing to help customers with hearing difficulties.
Not really a reply I’m afraid - just agreement! I was pleasantly surprised that YouView supports NowTV - and then very disappointed to find that it only half supports NowTV by skipping the (essential for many) subtitle function. Poor.
Can anyone confirm that the stick supports subtitles? I'm afraid that the lack of them on a Youview box is a deal-breaker for me.
That'll teach me to follow the links in other replies.... it's in writing here: https://help.nowtv.com/article/can-i-watch-now-tv-with-subtitles
(All devices except Youview/BT boxes have subtitles, as per the original reply above.)
However, the vast majority of content does not seem to have subtitles on Now TV. This is a pity. With the poor dialogue sound quality in an increasing number of productions, coupled with the gratuitous overuse of dramatic music, a lack of subtitles renders the service useless to many people. ☹️
I have now also got a Now TV Stick, and can see the subtitles. I can also see that a lot more TV series are subtitled than I thought, but are NOT labelled as subtitled in the headline show descriptions - you have to look at the individual episode descriptions (which have an "S").
I had decided to persevere with NowTV for a month over Xmas anyway, so a Stick from Argos for £15 including a months' entertainment pass seemed attractive. 😀
I hope this is of help to others with Youview/BT boxes needing subtitles.
