Identify when and how the text was available
Write down the programme, original broadcast date and the route on which you saw its text. RÚV’s guidance identifies Subtitles – íslenska in its web and smart-device players, while terrestrial television uses teletext page 888. Those are different ways for text to reach the viewer.
For an illustrative comparison, one family member may watch a terrestrial broadcast with page 888 while another opens the programme later in an app. Matching the programme title does not make the text transport identical. Preserve live versus replay and terrestrial versus app as separate entries in the viewing note.
Apply the stated Apple TV boundary
The broadcaster’s current indexed help says text from live broadcasts cannot be accessed afterwards through the RÚV Apple TV app and states that implementation work is ongoing. It also says text is not yet provided with every live transmission. A missing replay option can therefore be a documented route or production limitation rather than an incorrect subtitle-language selection.
Check the exact episode and the options actually shown by the receiving player. If you compare another official route, use the same programme and date, and record what is available rather than assuming that all apps share the same text state. A successful comparison does not establish that every other programme has equivalent access.
Preserve an episode-level support question
For help, provide the programme reference, the original receiving route, the replay route and whether text was visible live. State which language option the replay player offers. This gives the broadcaster a concrete example that can be compared with its documented Apple TV limitation.
If you need text for a planned session, verify the selected episode and route before the session. Do not rely solely on the fact that an earlier television broadcast carried text. The broadcaster’s help is a dated description of its supported routes, so retain the check date and review it again if the app changes or the feature is later implemented.
