I had a message on my mag box saying they are accepting requests for films or series , no guarantees , but they will try .

Obviously not all providers , I am with uktvmedia.

There so much to watch on MAGs the need for requests maybe over the top?

Such good value and so much available on it that it is very hard for me to think of anytuing they could add , not a film or series I know but for us with hearing problems subtitles would be nice in English , perhaps they are availeb and I am not aware of them, No doubt if they are some one on here will enlighten me

I have just seen Banshee has been added to the list today , it is 4 seasons...38 episode’s . I can definitely recommend it and I think I might even watch it again . It might not be to everyone’s taste .

I dont have a mag box but my Triotech hand set can do this.
Click your menu button, there should be a sub menu for enabling subtitles.

Some films have subtitles , you use the music note button to change mode .

Never been able to get subtitles with tv ....unless someone knows different ?

Sub titles on live tv streams is a bit tricky to do, however it is possible to encode them, but they will be there all the time, plus it adds bandwidth and cpu load in the encoder.

I will however ask the question if some channels can be streamed with the sub-titles.

One of our providers does do sub-titles with some channels, that is the Gold package.
