Netflix Begins to Release Subtitles

The Netflix instant viewing has had for a while now, a few annoying issues left to be resolved and addressed; no 5.1 sound system support, no 1080p video quality and more importantly no subtitles for the movies and shows you’re watching. The good news though is that Netflix has been working on these issues, and particularly the issue with no subtitles. An official announcement on the Netflix blog had been made recently regarding this topic. They have been working on including subtitles for their streaming products and it’s finally ready to be shown to the public. The only bad news to this is that for now, only one hundred titles have this feature but Netflix stated that they are working towards making this feature available for all streaming titles. Another issue that is going on right now is that it is only PC and Mac compatible, so you are still out of luck if you are watching Netflix streams on another platform, at least until this fall. Mentioned by Netflix, seasons 1-4 of Lost have this feature enabled and with more to come.
