Hi

As per the title I need to know whether anyone with a Tivo can try recording tv programmes so that those with subtitles will playback. In particular programmes like <ahem> Shortland Street. I have heard that mysky does but I have heard this is not always reliable.

Yes it does, you can access them via the guide. I guess it depends on whether they are there in the first place. I have found that there are more subtitles on TiVo than on Freeview.

Thanks for info. To expand, my wife is Deaf so her favourite shows are those that are subtitled via teletext, unlike a DVD where they are usually subtitled via a menu. Now, what I am trying to understand is if subtitles are viewed only while in teletext mode (801) and we are watching another channel, or we are out and we record a programme then how does the playback with subtitles work? I thought that teletext (801) only played the subtitles at a time when the programme is scheduled to play, so therefore if we watch the recording at a different time the teletext subtitles wont be there.

I'm pretty sure captions (via teletext) are recorded. I don't have a Tivo, but that is certainly the case with Windows 7 Media Centre.
