Bad and erratic subtitles in live broadcast as well
And on the News Channel HD

Sometimes BBC News can be eratic, but I ind it is improving year on year. Could your experience have been just a one off?

Have you made a definite decision yet about returning it? Or are you making a few short recordings to export to attempt to regain confidence?

Now that you've put me straight about not being able to play HD recordings on another HDR2000T, I no longer have any reason to copy the unwatched recordings. I'll watch a few, and lose the rest. Most of the programmes will be round again, no doubt.

What are you thinking of going for instead of an HDR-2000T?

Actually, I'm thinking of a Fox T2, mainly because of the expert knowledge and helpfulness of the users. (smile)

Just have to see if John Lewis will agree to a refund rather than a replacement.

I bought a 2000T yesterday when my HD-Fox T2 died, I have not yet seen any subtitles appear on HD channels, the same channels in SD show subtitles.

My HD-Fox displayed them sometimes.

Anyone with a 2000T able to see HD subtitles today (Crystal Palace transmitter)?

Thanks, Steve.

Welcome to the Forum Steve

Just checked the HD channels that are currently broadcasting and subtitles are fine from my transmitter.

Thanks Barry - wondering if there's something wrong with this box then. Perhaps I'll return it and get my HD-Fox repaired, seems to be a problem with the PSU.

Progamme info should detail if there are subtitles, and then just a matter of selecting option in menus, or use the subtitle button on remote to turn on/off.

Yep, tried that but wouldn't work in HD, I've just unplugged it and restored power and the subtitles have appeared, saved me a trip to Argos

Unfortunately, you may find, as I did, that the subtitles disappear again, requiring another power-cycle to coax them back again. Ad infinitum, apparently.

Interesting that we're both receiving from Crystal Palace.

You're correct James, HD subtitles lasted about 10 minutes.

Sounds like we've got the same problem. Any guesses what could cause this?
