1322844 2013-01-21 05:02:00 A friend of mine can get subtitles on his brand new digital ready TV. I would say they are there. No idea why I have never been able to get them. Agent_24 (57)
1322845 2013-01-21 21:27:00 Probably wont matter soon as teletext will be dead as of April the 2nd this year Speedy Gonzales (78)
1322846 2013-01-22 06:38:00 Does Freeview have captions? I've never noticed any option to display captions. Could be due to UHF version?

If, by Freeview, you mean TV1 and TV2 on the digital frequency then yes it does. On our Sony TVs remote controls there are buttons for both Teletext and Subtitles. For digital TV I access the captions for TV1/2/ via the either button but for digital TV3 I can only get them with the "Subtitle" button. Maybe that is why others have been unable to view them?

That's what I tried, and they would show up in a list, but selecting them and pressing OK did nothing.

Strange. I don't get a "list" when I press the subtitle button, I just get a message on the TV with "Subtitles: On/Off" and the captions just appear. It must work differently on other brands of TV. Now I understand why no one knew what I was talking about in my original post. :p

1322849 2013-01-23 18:20:00 TVNZ will simply change over to DVB subtitles when the time comes to drop the Teletext service.

It's Prime TV that are slacking they don't seem to have any form of subtitles on any of their programming.

If they do and the quality of captions drop then they will have a fight on their hands.

Would be good if they could fix that issue as well.
