What access services are there for disabled people?

Many digital boxes have special access features such as subtitles, signing and audio description for people with hearing or sight problems.

Audio Description

Subtitles

Most programmes are subtitled on Freeview and the service is constantly increasing. You can get subtitles on Freeview in one of two ways;

  • Press the Subtitles button (may also be shown as SUB – check the user manual) on the remote control of your set-top box or digital television.
  • Press the Menu button, then follow the on-screen options until you reach options for language and subtitles.

For more information on subtitling please call the RNID on 0808 808 0123 or visit the website at http://www.rnid.org.uk/ .
