Thanks Janerowena I do have a button on the controller called Sub but nothing happens when I press it. When I watch the live or recorded programmes through my PVR and use a different controller it works.
When DS comes next time I will get him to sort it.
DH hardly knows how to turn on the TV as he rarely watches anything which has the added advantage I can watch what I want when I want.
I only found out recently (thanks to my son) that I can get Iplayer on the actual TV now, rather than struggle on the laptop, as my volume on there just isn`t high enough, so now it`s just like on TV, well, it IS on TV I suppose, just when I want it.
I watched New Tricks on Iplayer today and didn't manage to get sub titles which helps me if I miss a word or two. Do they no longer have sub titles on BBC Iplayer ?
