I have to use subtitles when watching TV. Just recently occasional phrases or sentences are missing on pre-recorded programmes on BBC1 only. I don't have this problem on any other channels, not even BBC2. I've had my set-up for two years and haven't had this problem until recently. I get my reception from Freesat through a Humax Foxsat HDR. I've contacted the BBC and Humax support and they each gave me instructions to try rectify this fault without success. I know subtitles cannot be perfect on live programmes but they are usually perfect on pre-recorded programmes such as dramas and documentaries. Is anybody else having this problem or can anyone offer help?

Hi raycer
I have this problem too .......but I thought it was normal !! What did Humax and BBC tell you to do ?
My problem is that I can hear but not understand , so since for my wife I have to leave the Sound on I get into to a rare state with the competition between Hearing and Seeing! It gets even worse with Two languages to cope with! Incidentally I lived in Wing before we came out here.

My Humax Foxsat HDR has problems with the R/C and typically I have to use the Back button instead of OK for some commands !
I have just got a Humax TN 5050 HD which has interesting differences to the Foxsat. But at least the R/C performs correctly

14. Now you will see a brief description of settings, please press “OK” to finish.



15. Your box is now ready to function.

BBC:

Some digital receivers, particularly older designs, may not process and display subtitles very well. The following suggestions may help you resolve the problem:


a) Turn the subtitles off and then on again. Depending on your receiver, you may be able to do this directly using the subtitle button on your remote control or via on-screen menus;


b) Select a different television channel, wait until you see the pictures for that channel and then reselect the channel you were originally watching;


c) Turn the digital receiver off using the remote control, then disconnect from the mains by removing the plug. Wait for 10 seconds or longer and plug the receiver back in and switch on as normal.


If this does not solve the problem, you may need to contact your equipment manufacturer or supplier for detailed technical advice or consider perhaps replacing your receiver. Try taking your Freesat receiver back to your dealer and ask for a comparison between one manufacturer and another. As all BBC services are affected in the same way I'm sure this should reveal any diffferences.
