    Question Anyone else have subtitle problems with Channel 7 movies?

    At 84 I'm hard of hearing so this topic is important for me.

    Subtitles via the ABC, SBS and Channel 9 seem OK but channel 7 movies are consistently bad for subtitle display. At the start they are synchronised, then start to go ahead of the dialog, then vanish, sometimes reappearing in synch, other times not until the movie is resumed after an ad.

    I have just been in touch with Channel 7 about this but am posting to see if others experience this issue.

    TIA

    I've not needed Subtitles so cannot offer any suggestions. I've noticed synch problems with Netflix but a quick FF and RW fix that. Does it occur immediately after startup or does it gradually get worse during the course of the program. Does the synch reset itself at the end of a program? What about the adverts? If you turn the TV off and back on again does the problem go away for a while?
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    It starts off fine, then the subtt go out of synch and are in advance of the dialog. They then sometimes disappear but, after an ad, return to normal for a short time, then go out of synch, ..... this goes on the whole movie and virtually makes it unwatchable for me if the speech is not very clear. I peservered with one tonight (recorded midday today) but very nearly abandoned it.

    This seems a common problem with (older 4639) decoders. You might swap out the HDD. Has worked a few times for me

    The Vu+ Solo2 is touted as having -

    Dual MPEG2/H.264 Hardware Decoding (HD PiP possible)

    On-the-fly transcoding of content into a variety of formats.

    I'm not up with technicalities but it fixes the subtitles on the ABC, SBS and Chennel 9 OK.

    So is the problem with the Solo2 or with Channel 7???

    It does seem to be a channel 7 problem as it does occur on other recorders and does not occur on 7 Mate and other channels. A real PIA for me.

    Hi Guys.

    Just a Quik Question.
    Some new services have just appeared on Optus 10 12447v ABC, 7 Mate and Channel 9 Sydney and Ten.
    Can someone confirm if these load via a VAST Box... Or are they separate services from the VAST / Foxtel Platforms ?.

    Cheers
