Last night we tuned in to CSI Miami. There were Spanish subtitles that jumped all over the screen and made it very distracting. This was on the show itself, not closed captioning from my TV.We chose to watch another show because of this. Most televisions have the option of Spanish closed captioning, so there was no reason to ruin the show this way. I hope this was just some sort of broadcasting error on the part of the network and not the future of broadcast television. If you don't understand English, either learn it or turn on your own captions. I have yet to see a show on a Spanish station with English subtitles for the convenience of non-Spanish speaking viewers.

I DVR'd CSI:Miami last night and then watched it after the news. I didn't see any subtitles on my program.

Maybe it was only broadcast that way in Denver, but I know other people here saw them as well.
