Subtitles for More4, E4 and Film4 don't exist on cable TV - though they ARE there in FreeView!

I queried this with Virgin Customer Support. They confirmed that their current contact on these channels does not include subtitles.
This is, I believe, discrimination against the hard-of-hearing and elderly.
And shows like "ER" are impossible to understand without subtitles....

If enough people complain and lobby Virgin about this, perhaps something will be done.

If you're irritated by the lack of subtitles on these channels, PLEASE complain, via the website or by phone.
