Recently the Subtitles on BBC are flashing 888 up in the corner at regular intervals when the subtitles are on. Any clue why this is happening and how to stop it?

Just a reminder for your Tech Guys.
The 888 appears when V6 box subtitles are switched on, but there is no dialogue for about 10 seconds, that is, no subtitles are being generated.
This usually happens during credits and the beginning or end of a program.
I would imagine that the 888 would be consistently apparent if there is a BBC program that doesn't have subtitles, but subtitles are enabled on the V6 box
I haven't been able to prove this though.

I have this problem in Hampshire. Has there been a fix that I have missed? It's very annoying. I need the subtitles so switching them off is not an option.
Any advice appreciated.
