Closed Captions

Most programs in the US have embedded subtitles, known as Closed Captions. These are designed for the hearing impaired, with extra features that normal subtitles don’t have.

To turn on the display of Closed Captions, go to View – Closed Captions.

All EyeTV units in the US and Canada support Closed Captioning.

Teletext Subtitles

For all EyeTV models that support the PAL broadcast standard, EyeTV has sub- titling support via Teletext pages. To access subtitles, go to View - Teletext and use the keypad to navigate to the Teletext page that contains the subtitles for the current channel. You can also invoke the Teletext display by using the col- ored keys on the hardware remote control that accompanies the EyeTV hard- ware. To jump to a page enter the page number via keyboard or remote control. You can also access the page by clicking on the page number in the videotext window.

EyeTV only supports older style Teletext, like what’s found traditionally with analog TV. Modern DVB signals may contain new interactive data services that EyeTV does that support. In those cases, you may see a black screen instead of Teletext or subtitles.

DVB Subtitles

For all EyeTV models that support the DVB broadcast standard, EyeTV can dis- play DVB-based subtitles. To access them, go to View - Subtitles. You can show subtitles, and select a particular track, if multiple tracks are present.

Overlay Window

Information about the current program is displayed in an overlay window. This window is displayed automatically on every channel change, and can also be invoked by pressing either Command-I on the keyboard, or the OK button on
