How do I know which programmes are captioned or have subtitles?

Broadcasters and Able New Zealand provide captioning services for the programmes you find on Freeview. 

Broadcasters indicate these captioned programmes in the programme listings they supply.  Look for this Captions icon in the Freeview TV Guide online or onscreen.
