Have you sorted out your problem. I have exactly the same situation and am being passed from pillar to post by Telewest. if you found a remedy could you let me know? Thanks.

Hi,
The subtitle button on the remote is rubbish - doesn't work. You can however enable subtitles on the TV drive.

Right directions are from memory - hopefully they will make sense.
Access the home page/tv page (Where you have Teleport/TV Guide/and so on) select Options (bottom left option) then select Display & Audio (Top Right) then the third option from the bottom is display subtitles or some wording to this effect. When you select TV, if the program is subtitled they will appear.

Thanks for your suggestion but my tvdrive is set up ok under Display. The problem is that it does not show on Sky channels (movies, skynews etc) but does show ok on the others (BBC1, 2, ITV etc). If a Sky movie has subtitles I cannot see them (can on my Pace box upstairs). If I record that programme the subtitles are available on playback.
Any suggestions before unhappy wife sends me to Mr Murdoch? Thanks.

Have you tried turning on teletext page 888 subtitles on your TV?
