Would like our recordings to have subtitles (with the possibility to switch off). But would like live TV to be without subtitles, without having to keeping switching them off with the action menu every time you change channel.
@daveyh64 thanks, the Action menu gives choice Off/English (just like the Subtitle button), not Off/Basic/Hard of hearing, which is a much longer path in the Settings menu to set the default. Having set Basic as default, I can only toggle off with the button or the Action menu. Off is not remembered when changing channel or going back to a channel previosly turned off.
I was glad to find that I can turn the subtitles off on recordings
@royabrown2 thanks, very good summary of my issue
Now realize that I had completly misunderstood subtiles! SORRY!
I thought that to record with subtiles you had to set the default to Basic subtitles. The reason was that I was only aware of the Action menu as a means to switch subtitles on or off. And the Action menu for recordings did not have subtiles as a option.
Later I discovered the remote's subtitles button. Unlike the Acton menu it works with recordings to toggle subtitles on/off. Thus default settings should not be Basic but Off! SORRY!0
