March started with the arrival of a new streaming platform in our country: SkyShowtime. This stood out above all for having a wide catalog of content with a 50% discount on the lifetime subscription fee for those faster people. This platform comes at a time where there is a great war between the services after Netflix’s decision to ban shared accounts, although it seems to have gone up in smoke.
But not everything is as good as it is presented on SkyShowtime, since in its first days of life in our country a really serious problem has arisen. This can be annoying for people who have hearing problems or even for those people who see content in the original versionbecause it is directly related to the generation of subtitles.
From VHS to STREAMING everywhere
SkyShowtime presents important errors at startup
Throughout these days, numerous complaints to the platform have been seen on Twitter due to the fact that They refer to the Spanish subtitles that are a little behind the course of the filmwhich makes having the subtitles absurd and very annoying, since what they say in the movie or the series does not correspond to these subtitles.
And it is not something that is related to a specific movie or series, but on Twitter it has been seen how they have made comments that it is something present in all content and on all available platforms (different television, mobile or web brands ). This makes it possible to consider a general platform error that affects all users equally They make use of subtitles.
In this case, SkyShowtime has responded to these criticisms with a message on its own website. They detail that this error with the subtitles can cause them not to appear, or that they do so in the wrong place and even not sync with the audio. For this reason, they apologize for this failure that is affecting the viewing experience.
Right now they are working on a solution, this being the main priority. That is why, as the days go by, the subtitles will gradually appear on your site. They do not give a specific date to be able to solve it, and they only limit themselves to the fact that it will be in “the next few weeks”. What is clear is that it is a really annoying problem, since right now there is a long delay in the responses in the customer service.
