Tried to set the reminder, but it said it was not set. This could mean my box is not updated yet.

Sounds like it, You may get others saying if they can or cannot get subtitles on their Samsung V+ boxs.
I still don't get Channel 4HD subtitles even though the guide shows them as being broadcast. Perhaps Virgin don't support this yet.

Re: BBC HD Subtitles
Watched Coming of Age on BBC HD last night and the subtitles were in sync on my SA box, looks like it could be sorted at last.

Sky HD hasn't got subtitles on ITV1 HD or Channel4 HD either, so it's a source issue, i.e. the broadcaster.

Theres no real spec for how a broadcaster should do distribution of HD subtitling. Theres no such thing as VBI in HD, so new methods are being looked at for how to carry subtitles within the video distribution. The only channels currently doing subtitles are the ones who can encode the channels at the same place as playout occurs so don't have to distribute the subtitles to a seperate encoding site.

Let's hope they can get it sorted, it spoils what would be a good service.

DVB does not specify how subtiting is embedded within video for distribution prior to encoding. Thats post encoding.
Sky don't use DVB subtitling. Freesat do.

Sky launched before the DTG had finished the DVB subtitling spec.
