Subtitles ShowtimeArabia & Orbit

[Zurvy]

Hellow everybody,

I am considering subscribing to ShowtimeArabia and/or Orbit.

However, I was wandering whether these channels supply subtitles by network, like MBC/Nova/Dutch channels (so its included with the show, and cannot be disabled), or does it come as a disable/enable layer which can be controlled through the receiver itself, so like Sky UK/BBC/Spanish channels....

Also does anybody know which broadcaster is better in terms of programs?

Any info would be welcome.

Cheers,
Zurvy

As far as i know (from my freinds in Dubai) both of those have the subtitles embedded in the video and cannot be disabled. Plus their adverts are mostly in arabic and the subtitles obliterate parts of the actual programming content at important places. I've stopped subscribing to satellite completely here in Dubai. I would suggest neither are any good and not worth the money you will waste.
