There are subtitles on most high definition programmes, and we have tested audio describing on Hustle, Heroes and How We Built Britain. The availability of access services varies between satellite and cable providers but it is hoped that, in time, all HD digital boxes will be able to decode the subtitle and audio description services broadcast by the BBC. As with standard definition, we will build up access services over time.
