Here is how to enable subtitles while watching a programme on MaxiTV.


Activation steps

Step 1 — While watching a broadcast, press OK twice on the remote.

Step 2 — In the menu that appears, select Language.

Step 3 — Choose Subtitles and select the desired language (e.g. German, French) if available for that programme.


Available subtitle types

Depending on the streaming protocol used, two types of subtitles may appear:

TypeDescriptionQuality
deu / deutschSubtitles embedded in the DVB stream✅ Recommended — synchronised and accurate
deu (Teletext)Teletext-based subtitles⚠️ Outdated technology — often out of sync

If both options are available, always prefer deu or deutsch for a better experience.

With the OTT protocol, only the deu/deutsch option is available — teletext subtitles are not offered.


Note

Not all programmes and channels offer subtitles. Availability depends on each broadcaster.
