Subtitles in Dutch - sports games

[StefanTM]

Hello, 

I'm trying to learn Dutch and watching sports is usually a good way. 

However I'm not seeing an option to turn on subtitles on anywhere. I do have the option turned on my TV (for Dutch) but I think it has to come from ziggo.

What did I miss during setup?

Thanks

Which channels do you watch?

Not everywhere there are subtitels.

Hi @StefanTM, 

I think it is good way to improve your language! Have you been able to find the right settings? If not, please let me know what channels it is about. And how do you watch TV, with a mediabox?

[StefanTM]

I have the ziggo sport complete package so all of the ziggo sport channels have this same issue.

I have not found the setting

Did you need the actual channel numbers. 

[Bert]

Do you have a mediabox or a smartcard or only Cabel TV on your TV?

Maybe you can watch Studio Sport on one of the NPO-channels. The NPO has subtitles

Subtitels are not available on the ziggosport channels. So you can search until you ''weigh an ounce'' (Dutch proverb).

These sports channels do not offer subtitles:

Ziggo Sport

ESPN

Eurosport

Subtitles are available on NPO 1, NPO 2 and NPO 3.

But not always a literal translation.

Ook live-uitzendingen worden door TT888 ondertiteld. 

Natuurlijk de NOS Journaals en sportuitzendingen, maar ook andere dagelijkse en wekelijkse programma's, 

zoals Goedemorgen Nederland, Op1, Tijd voor MAX en EenVandaag. 

De ondertitelaars maken hiervoor gebruik van spraakherkenningssoftware en 're-speaking'. 

Een redacteur 're-speakt' of 'tolkt' zo woordelijk mogelijk wat gezegd wordt op tv. 

Dat wordt door de spraakherkenningssoftware omgezet in tekst (ondertitel).

And there are subtitles during football matches on 6. SBS6, 8. Veronica
