For ERTFLIX, request the Greek programme and the specific language or accessibility version. ERT says subtitles and accessibility features vary by item. A subtitle preference in a profile cannot establish an English track, closed captions or audio description that the programme itself does not provide.
Choose the Greek programme and version
Begin with the original Greek title and episode. An English-translated description can help identify a series without establishing English subtitles on every episode. ERT’s own FAQ qualifies subtitle availability, so check the actual item you plan to watch. If English subtitles are essential for another household member, make them a requirement of the request rather than an assumption based on the platform’s English interface.
English subtitles are item-specific
Separate subtitles from accessibility features. ERT identifies selected material with CC and AD: captions support viewers who need information about speech and sound, while audio description supplies spoken information about the picture. These serve different needs and should not be substituted for one another. State which feature matters and whether the viewer requires it throughout the complete programme.
CC and AD serve different needs
Decide whether the goal is a live channel, a drama episode, a documentary or a particular discussion. A short report about a programme can be available without the full recording. For an interview, include the guest and topic; for a drama, include the episode. Check the opening and version rather than treating a matching thumbnail or programme title as sufficient evidence.
| Viewing need | Exact request |
|---|---|
| English-supported Greek drama | Name title and episode, then require English subtitles on that item; translated navigation is insufficient. |
| Captions for speech and sound | State the CCrequirement explicitly; do not substitute ordinary translation captions or assume every programme supplies them. |
| Spoken description of the picture | Request ADand the exact programme version; a general accessibility category does not establish every item’s tracks. |
Keep Athens date and full programme
Keep the Athens programme date, especially when relatives watch a late edition from another country. If one episode has subtitles and another does not, record that item-specific difference. The FAQ explains ERT’s own platform distinctions, not a promise that another television service supplies the same tracks, captions, description or catalogue.
- Identify the exact item before checking subtitle controls.
- Treat captions, translation and description as separate needs.
- Confirm the required version in the complete programme.
