Tv streaming device , subtitles, ITV hub

I’ve bought a BT YouView+ box with a 500gb hard disc to record progs onto - and the recordings *do* have subtitles. I’m well happy with that part of things.

What let’s it down is the YouView implementation of ITV hub which doesn’t show subtitles - yet the iPad app for ITV hub does (but not the live streamed tv).

Would the Roku Express do subtitles on ITV hub - if anyone has one please can you try this out? Btw. The Chromecast version of ITV hub does not do subtitles.

Thanks

    This is an ITV decision at this time not to implement subtitles on YouView. They've obviously decided to do it on the iPad but it's not universal on all platforms yet.

    I used to work for ITV, don't expect a timely resolution to this...
