UK viewers of HBO Max's medical drama 'The Pitt' are reporting a frustrating subtitle error that renders text unreadable on screen. Users on the Sky Community forum have described overlapping subtitles that obscure dialogue, particularly affecting those who rely on captions for accessibility.
One viewer with a Sky Plus HD box stated: 'I have downloaded episodes of The Pitt from HBO and when I use the subtitles they are not readable on screen in parts. The text is overlapped.' The issue appears to be specific to HBO content, as the same user noted that shows from ITV downloaded via the platform lack subtitles entirely.
The problem has sparked complaints about accessibility, with the user adding: 'It's really frustrating especially for people who rely on subtitles for most things they watch.' As of now, HBO and Sky have not issued a statement regarding the glitch.
