Here is a simple tip for anyone using subtitles in the default HD skin of Nabilo 0.6 (or other HD skins, I have tried it on Gemini’s HD-skins for instance) and who do not want to use 2sub. Should work on all other HD skins as well where you have a problem with getting both SD and HD text positioned right.

Open /usr/share/enigma2/skin.xml in an editor (like wordpad) and search for "subtitledisplay". In the line containing subtitledisplay, change the default setting to these values:

<screen name="SubtitleDisplay" position="310,140" size="720,576" zPosition="-1" flags="wfNoBorder" backgroundColor="transparent" />

The only changes are to "position" and "size". If you are running a HD skin other than the Nabilo 0.6 default (or another image) you have to find the active skin.xml to alter similarly.

Save the changes in /usr/share/enigma2/skin.xml (or whatever the position if you are using another HD skin) and reboot Enigma. Once you do that, both DVB (HD) and txt (SD) subtitles will end up in approximately the right place without the need for 2sub.

Good luck!
