Channels with Subtitles

[HB13DISH]

I have put this thread under the Dreambox General section, but it should be the same for other receivers which have teletext support.

There are many FTA channels on Hot Bird 13E which send subtitles for selected programmes, either from an option box or using special teletext pages.
The main reason for sending the subtitles is to help viewers who are HOH (Hard Of Hearing) to enjoy the programmes.
This thread should help those who have some knowledge of foreign languages to enhance the enjoyment of the viewing and also help them with the study of foreign languages.
There is also the possibility to record the programmes using the internal HDD (for models like 7000S 0r 600pvr or 7020S) and then manipulate the *.ts file so as to extract the subtitle file in the original language and replace it with a simple translated English file (using Google).
Please see this thread:

The following list details the channel name and the teletext page number used in order to send the subtitles.
Most commonly used pages are 777, 888 and 150.
I will also attach in seperate posts for each channel or provider, snap shots of a frame with a subtitle line.

There are six channels in Cyfra + that transmit Polish subtitles. They all use teletext page 777

1 - Canal Plus +
2 - Canal Plus + Films
3 - Ale Kino
4 - HBO
5 - HBO 2
6 - HBO Comedy

Usually there is no subtitle transmission if the program has Polish dubbing on the Original audio channel (just to clarify: there are two audio channels, Polish and ORY)

I was able to extract the Polish subtitle from non English speaking excellent films (French, Italian, Czech, Afghan, etc.) and translate it to English so that I can understand the films better.
