LOL, thanks ;))) . Having never actually watched it, I'm still untouched ;)) .

You need special TVs for that? Here any TV can receive subtitles (teletext
page 888. I don't think you can find any TV set in Holland which cannot
receive teletext, except maybe the oldest ones). It's just that not all
programs are subtitled yet for deaf people and ill-hearing ones (there's
currently a petition going on asking for children programs to provide
subtitles...).
