you dont have to sign up, you just click a few buttons in much the same way you put subtitles on... its quite good. especially for hollyoaks. Ben rolls over in bed with a semi.

it can be infuriating
But only when I accidentally do it with co unknown button on the sky remote and have to find the original tv controller to turn it back off.

I can see it'd be infuriating
I have managed to rip films off DVD to watch on my Ipod, to find I've chosen the directors commentary instead of the main audio. That sucks big time.

Interesting for certain kinds of film
A kitchen. A housewife is standing by her broken washing machine, wearing only skimpy underwear. There is a knock at the door.

The mousachio'd plumber is clearly glad to see her and as it is a hot day, takes off his shirt, exposing his muscled torso. He has very tight jeans.

He bends over the machine to inspect it. The housefife agrees that it is very warm and begins to disrobe further. A 70's waa-waa guitar track starts to play.

...etc.

Describing the soundtrack

not as good as the deaf signer doing air guitar
in the bottom corner of the screen on certain music channels late at night to signify that the lyrcis have stopped and the solo has begun.

Nearly laughed me cock off the first time I saw that.
