In the normal text?

I only found a hint in the "curent running" program line like
"UT Seite 150" or so (don't rely on that string).

VT subtitles are displayed on one "fixed" page (150)
to be selected manually.

If page 150 is in stream, then there are -currently- subtitles available.


There is only one language version: "cleaned" german (bad words are often 
not shown).

The german subtitles are mainly intended for hear disabled. 
Because all movies are "synchronized" in german language
there is no need to translate it to german in the subtitles.
In Sweden you have the advantage to have the orginal sound track,
but the need to have subtitles under every movie.
(So your english is much better than ours ;-))

The netherlands have very good subtitles.
Typed in real time!
How do they implemented this on sat?

Maybe there are two kind of subtitles?
