[QUOTE="Skip Channel, post: 155075, member: 175117"] First of all I understand the frustation of both the poster wanting a relatively speedy response to a question posed and a forumite seeing what they believe to be the same question asked over and over again. From what I gather about subtitles there isn't any single standard that seems to be followed by Europe's broadcasters. They all seem to do things in their own different way. It seems to boil down to direct-to-home providers and the boxes they impose on their customers. IIRC there is supposed to be a DVB subtitling standard but I don't think any broadcasters/providers/STB manufacturers bother with it (at least not in the same way as DVD subs). As has been said, teletext subtitles seem to be the best bet. Unfortunately different broadcasters/countries use different page numbers (unlike all UK broadcasters using page 888). Thinking about it though - if you were to pick up a German receiver (free-to-air, CI or a Premiere one) it might be better suited to German broadcasts - I'd think a Technisat would be worth looking at - their receivers have a special EPG afterall (well they've given it a fancy title in german!)
