Subtitles

Most programmes on Freely are subtitled. There are two ways to turn subtitles on or off:

Using the remote: Press the SUB button on your remote to toggle subtitles.

Using the MiniGuide: While watching live TV, press OK to open the MiniGuide, then look for the S symbol to turn subtitles on or off.

When using streaming apps like BBC iPlayer or ITVX, you’ll need to turn subtitles on within each app’s own player controls.

Changing the subtitle language: To switch the subtitle language (for example, to Welsh on S4C), go to Settings → Live TV → Subtitles → Primary Subtitle Language.

Subtitle size and font: These can’t currently be adjusted. Subtitle appearance on Freely channels is controlled by Freely at the platform level.
