TV and English subtitles

No, usually with a couple of thousand channels available you  will only get a few with subtitles.

Check the accessibility settings for your tv , you should have subtitle options, or closed captions or   maybe  speech to text.

Google your make model and how to set up subtitles and you’ll probably get a few YouTube videos showing you what to do.

I tend to use subtitles when watching the mumbled dramas produced by the BBC. I use a box supplied by Television Technology as advertised on the sister site. They are a local company so they may be able to help you with your current set up.

All the main UK TV channels via satellite offer subtitles. So if your feed is direct from the satellite to a Freesat, Sky, or free to air satellite receiver, then they should be available to you. Just push the right button to access them

If your system is not a direct from satellite system, and is piped to you via a communal "RF" system, then i doubt they will have subtitles.

Via internet, with a VPN, iPlayer, ITVX All4 all offer subtitles.

Via internet, via the "iptv" packages you will be lucky to get 10 or so channels with subtitles on.

Hi 

My missus needs subtitles, and I totally agree with what pc and sat guy has said - so we are sticking to satellite for most of what we watch. But if you like Amazon Prime and/or Netflix - their subtitles are very good.

The drawback is that sometime next year, the BBC channels will disappear via the standard 1.4 metre dish - many of them have already gone.

I get the impression that you need to get your own personal dish rather than use the communal one, but your community may not allow this.
