Is the Sign Language and Voice Dialogue Compulsory on Tv?
Ask a Question
Let me say immediately that I wholeheartedly endorse any measures that enable deaf or blind folk to enjoy tv as much as I do.
However, just lately i have noticed more programmes having these aids with no way of switching them off if not needed. Maybe i am an exception but i find it terribly distracting to hear descriptions of what i am seeing or a small person onscreen signing.
Is there a way of turning these off? I have searched my settings.
In these days of tech and smart tv i cannot believe they are unable to turn these off for those who don't need them.
I find it distracting too especially when the picture, audio description and subtitles aren't in sync
Imnotcheap I know it's not the same but I was watching a film with son and daughter in law recently and we were bemused by a foreign language conversation. About 20 seconds later the subtitles popped up!

I can't help but try to read those when its glitching and the subtitles are foreign
Imnotcheap it drives me mad I can't watch anything like that just because I wanna kick the tv 
Imnotcheap oh yeah definitely I know abit of sign language myself so been doing that with her too I do believe they should learn it in school too
