You should complain to your government like "Hey, where is my deaf rights?". As you may know, in America we have ADA, FCC, NAD, etc to protect our rights. What about your country? You and other deaf Brits have to fight for it. However, if UK doesn't offer programs like Netflix or Hulu, that's too bad. Not happy? Then move here. Alot of people from all over the world did.typical something decent like hulu etc not for us not fair

Thanks for the links, Foxrac. So it's great that UK has RAD and equality rights for deaf Brits but caz12 is disappointed that Netflix and Hulu are not available in her country. She wants to watch the few last episodes of the old show, Everybody loves Raymond with CC/subtitles that she missed. I guess the only way for her is to buy the DVD.USA and UK have different advantage and disadvantage so I couldn't explain due to strong political topic.
UK has anti-discrimination that cover on disabilities, pretty like ADA style.
Disability Discrimination Act 1995 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (repealed and replaced with Equality Act 2010)
Equality Act 2010 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UK has NAD style organization.

I believe that UK has FCC style too like most developed countries have one to regulate the broadcasting, internet, TV service, etc. BBC iPlayer support subtitles so caz12 should find way to turn on.
The CC/subtitle support is very behind on online video in all countries, including USA, that's unfortunately.
