Subtitles via Watch Live are supported on most of our programming and platforms (Amazon, Roku, iOS, Android and within a web browser) however not everything will carry subtitles either because none are available or, as in the case of some of our older content, because the subtitle format is not compatible (e.g Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, etc.). If subtitles are available, an 'S' button will be visible on screen.
If you are having any issues with the subtitles via Watch Live please get in touch via the contact us form on our website www.channel4.com.

Yes, you can stream on both Wi-Fi and mobile data

Wi-Fi is a short-range static wireless connection. To use it for internet access, your device must connect (over Wi-Fi) to a wireless router – such as the one at your favourite coffee shop that allows customers free internet access. Mobile data is usually available on your device as part of a paid contract or on pay as you go services. It allows you to browse the internet or stream content anywhere you can access a strong enough signal.
-
Browsing the app won’t consume nearly as much mobile data as playing a video, so we haven’t disabled it. If you wish to disable any type of mobile data usage caused by browsing the app, then this can be disabled in your device settings.
-
Mobile data is an internet source - such as GPRS, Edge, 2G, 3G or 4G - supplied by your mobile phone provider. Mobile data does not include WiFi. The amount of mobile data available to you will vary based on your mobile contract and is usually limited to a certain number of gigabytes of data each month. Please check the exact amount with your mobile service provider.
-
There is no longer a setting to disable streaming by mobile data. Note: a user can also download over data now.

If you click on the ‘Don’t show this message again’ box on the message, you will not see it again. (Note: after ticking this box, the only way to see this message again is to uninstall the app and re-install it.)
On iPhone and iPad, this message will only be shown on the first launch after installing.
