Morning,
I think something missing!!!
Like other provider such as Netflix, they offer movies with subtitle at a lower price!
Now TV should be able to offer that service for must of their movies and, this should normally help deaf people watching films...
Thanks,
Guy

It's really about time deaf and hard of hearing folks were listened to, and not marginalised, nor discriminated against, so come on, time something is done about subtitles!!?? Bazza
Yes very disappointed to see that this matter has been discussed since 2012 and still no result. It would not hurt to be up front about this and include somewhere in your leaflets that subtitles are NOT available.
I've just ordered and immediately cancelled NOW TV on the basis of no subtitles. Honestly bizzare given all of NOW TV's competitors offer subtitles and it's pretty standard thing these days..
As nice as it is to watch pictures, being deaf makes subtitles essential. They shouldn't be seen as an optional-extra, rather a key part of the service that make it accessible.
Surely it cannot be so difficult to provide subtitles? I don't have Sky but I am assuming they provide subtitles to for their viewers so why not the paying customers of NowTV?
@Anonymous User Sky via dish has subtitles, but Sky Go does not. It's easier to provide subtitles for broadcast content than streaming.
It's clearly not an uncrackable problem since other on demand services have subtitles. However, putting subtitles on live channels streamed via the internet is even more difficult still. I'm not aware of any live streaming TV channels which have solved that.
Thanks for the reply @DarylM much appreciated.
