Why do subtitles not work on all programming when watching live TV (i.e. Channel 4, More4, E4, Film4, 4Seven)?

Subtitles via Watch Live are supported on most of our programming and platforms (Amazon, Roku, iOS, Android and within a web browser) however not everything will carry subtitles either because none are available or, as in the case of some of our older content,  because the subtitle format is not compatible (e.g Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, etc.).  If subtitles are available, an 'S' button will be visible on screen.

If you are having any issues with the subtitles via Watch Live please get in touch via our CONTACT US form.

Why don't all programmes have subtitles?

We take accessibility seriously and whilst we aim to subtitle as much content as possible, unfortunately, not everything on All 4 will carry subtitles. In particular, this could be some of our older content that was subtitled live on our linear services or where the version of a programme on All 4 differs to the one originally broadcast. Subtitles are supported on most of our platforms and we are committed to continuing to extend accessibility on All 4 where possible.
