Subititles

I must be some sort of weirdo as, if available, will always turn on the subtitles on a DVD or tele. Except for the news and other live(ish) programmes, I do require some sort of synchronicity. I loved Ceefax and Tetetext with the magic 888 code. Now with Sky, I can get the same effect by using the Help button. Bliss, never miss a word of the script. It's been a dark secret for many years, until I saw this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4862652.stm. What I thought was a strange quirk reserved for me and deaf people (and perhaps people whose speaker had gone on the tele) is untrue.
