Does Apple TVOS implement BBC subtitles on BBC iPlayer in UK. I can implement subtitles on my iOS 16.2 devices but not on TVOS 16.2 devices. Any suggestions? Is there an Apple TV community in UK.

Thank you, Urquhart1244. The BBC statement isn't dated, I think. Do you know when it was posted and if we can expect progress on this any time soon?

I have no other information beyond the statement. BBC is the app publisher. Only they can order new functionality for it. Only they would know about progress, if any.
