In some cases the recording also contains teletext subtitles, which will convert to .srt easily, but normally you'll have to run the .ts file through something like 'Project X' which can de-mux the file to its video, audio and subtitle components, then you run the subtitle file through an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program such as SubRip to read the images and output them as .srt. Have a go and if you want, I can let you have a copy of my setup which does it in moments.</blockquote>
