I Want To Start A Petition........

[trt]

for TV companies to start displaying subtitles on '' Catch-up-TV-Programmes '' as they only seem to have them on channels that are showing at the time.
And also for those TV Channels that don't show them at all.

For those who rely on them, and have missed programmes, dosent mean we have to be punished, like I have recently with Poldark.

I spoke to Sky yesterday, and they just said, ''we don't do them'', so any ideas where I should start one, FB, Twitter etc, and how?

Who are you going to petition,
Downing Street to bring in a Law,
or EACH individual TV Channel to change their policies?

[trt]

Blimey Sandy, that was quick.

Do you think what I said in my post would be OK for the petition?

Thanks gness,
My Son did about a year ago, and they said they have been looking into it, and now I would hope through the strength of Social Media we could go one better, and get thousands of people to complain.

They're not pushing very hard then....good luck with your petition....it would get my signature...x

I said Poldark dosent have sub-titles on Catch-Up bednobs, and I like to watch TV on my television, not on my laptop!

I would like to start a petition to stop loud noisy background music which spoils the programmes this is most relevant on the documentary crime channels and they don't have subtitles which might help to drown out the unnecessary noise!
