 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

@Andy  I did wonder if this was a recent change in preparation for the red button changes.  I imagine Now TV would want the controls to operate the same across the black box, smart box and any forthcoming devices.  In which case, it would make sense for the * button to work as the red button on smart boxes.

 

Did this change to the * button/subtitles happen recently?  I just have a black box and, as I said, I don't use subtitles often enough to notice any change straight away.

@DarylM Yeah they've been upgrading the app from v3.x.x to v4.x.x over the last couple of weeks. I still have a box on v3 and the * button still toggles the subs there. 

 

Like I say I know there's not many buttons to choose from on the remote, but the up and down buttons are pretty redundant during playback, be nice if one of those could become a toggle for people who just need subs ad hoc.

I'm surprised that Save Me doesn't have subtitles, since it's a Sky production on a Sky channel.

@DarylMI'm not surprised - given that this thread has been open for five and a half years, it's clear Sky don't care enough about subtitiles.

I've long since switched to Netflix, Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer, all of which have subtitles for all their productions.

I hope that there will be more content with subtitles soon.  As it's a Sky production, I will be disappointed if Patrick Melrose doesn't have subtitles.

Well, Patrick Melrose doesn't have subtitles.  I'm disappointed that Sky still don't add subtitles on Now TV to programmes they produce themselves.  As You, Me & The Apocalypse was one of the first TV shows to get subtitles on Now TV, I assumed that subtitles would follow on other Sky-produced shows.
