Method 5 and system. [Background of the Invention] Digital television compresses dynamic video and voice compression standards in program information according to the MEPG-2 W compression standard, and compresses it into a digital type of transmission stream (Transport Stream), which can be divided in one channel. There are a large number of sub-10 channels, and each sub-channel provides one program. Compared with the general analog TV, one channel can only provide one program, which can provide more program playback. In addition, in addition to the above advantages, digital TV can provide more services than analog TV, such as providing program forms and adding subtitles in various languages. In terms of joining the services of different TV stations, because analog TV generally presses 15 subtitles into the video signal and broadcasts it with the video at the viewing client, the viewers of the analog TV can only watch fixed compression. The sub-screen in the video cannot choose the language subtitles you want to watch. Although the current Dvb standard digital TV radio station provides subtitles that can add multiple different languages to a program, it is currently in the video conversion box of the viewing client. (Set_top 20 Box) There is no relative function to select the subtitle language, so the subtitle language cannot be selected in the viewing client. [Summary of the Invention] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for a user to select a subtitle language in a program of each subchannel.
