I grew up in a family that always talked over TV. .. To this day we have subtitles on so... they can just... keep talking arhhhhh......subtitles....if you want to read, get a book! but seriously, being dyslexic subtitles prove very problematic for me, speaking rhythms just don't allow enough time for me to read them and process it while still watching, it's 3 sentences down before I have done with it...and it's even more annoying when you get some alien speaking gibberish with subs at the bottom, what the point or Russians etc. now have to speak Russian with subtitles! I have no problems reading at a normal pace, but there is something about watching and reading frys my brain......I cannot even read the ticker feed on the news channels with out having to blank the rest of the picture/sound out in my head. it's my pet hate, and annoys me no end when you get some pretentious type saying how everything is so much better in the original language...we not for me it ain't, and I am not alone out of the 8 people I know with dyslexia 6 have the same or similar trouble. and don't even get me started on broadcasts with flapping hand sign language.

I have the opposite problem with subtitles (which I realise is definitely nowhere near as difficult as it must be for those who are dyslexic) -- I read them too quickly and it's hard for me to ignore them. So then I've read them, and am spoiled for the dramatic effect of the characters saying exactly what they're going to say, when the audience is supposed to hear it...

I do the same. As soon as the subtitles come on, I can't not read them and end up spending more time watching them than listening. Not to mention picking up where the subtitles differ from the actual conversation, another thing I can't help. I was watching some ... thing on Netflix the other day (well, the kids were lol) and they'd left the subtitles on. Imagine a panning camera view of a field of cows, the subtitles come up, "... cow noises ..." Cheers Tony

I do prefer watching things in their original languages so I prefer subtitles. But I even use subtitles when it's my own language because I like catching everything that was said.
I understand some people have legitimate reasons they can't follow along with subtitles but for the average person all it takes is a little practice. I've been watching film/shows with subtitles since I was a kid and I can read and still see what is happening on screen with no problem.

To be fair to Dalekbuster, there have been times where the thing the other person I've been with is watching something SO vacant that I think "Why do we need hushed silence for this?". I mean, my mum when i lived at home wouldn't let you talk over QVC I still don't get it, but hey...if she likes watching some cheesy failed kids tv presenter flogging cheap diamonique, she's welcome to. The one I DO hate...on more than one occasion someone has tried to shush me at the cinema DURING THE ADVERTS. Not even the trailers, which I do go quiet for but the adverts for cars, perfumes and the like. I'm not going to have a reverant silence for Mercedes, Lynx and Sony anytime soon though so those people were told what to do with the shushes. My mom is also into QVC & the Home Shopping Network. She even records what she misses. I don't get it. I honestly can't think of anything more boring to watch. My mom watches that kind of thing too, but I think its mostly because it helps her fall asleep.

QVC and many Shopping channels are very ASMR like.

When Doctor Who, Musketeers, Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Legends Of Tomorrow, Walking Dead, Gotham are on no talking or I'll lock that person in the garden shed.
A stare can say more than a 1000 words.

Especially, on quiz shows. They yapp during a question, you tell them to "shush", they then say "Don't tell me too shush", and by the time they do keep quiet, you've missed 2 questions.

My family tends to get competitive whenever we watch Jeopardy. We are all shouting out answers, and arguing with eachother as to whether our answers would count. We constantly have to go back a bit on our DVR, because people are talking over questions.
