I experience the same type of problems in HD locals ,specialy NBC , I have a VIP 622 , dishnetwork , CC are terrible bad
I'm also using the ViP 622.
I've also seen a problem with San Diego's NBCHD (lack of) as well as the ABCHD LiL captioning (spotty). When they (Dish) began to retransmit the CC with the local content, NBC did show the caption content but in the past few weeks, it has disappeared.
Cable has no problem providing CC on the local HD content (my current location does not allow me to recieve cable), so why can't Dish? Does DirectTB have this issue?
I cannot get a good answer why there appears to be so much difficulty transmitting or retransmitting CC on HD channels. It is obviously something that can be done and done well. TNTHD, ESPNHD, HDNET, HDNMV, HBOHD, SHOWHD, on a national level, do a great job of captioning. FOXHD LiL shows CC very well and CBSHD LiL shows but has its problems.
It has gotten to a point that my wife and I cannot watch some programs together because I have to use headphones cranked up to a ridiculous volume level for me to watch and understand the shows that I'm interested in.
