I see there was a simliar thread in 2007 but no mention since.
Have just upgraded (?) to HD after almost a decade with DN and now have both a 722 and a 222 receiver. Since I am hearing impaired, CC is essential.
I am finding that very few of the HD channels have CC but most of the same channels in SD do. HBO and SHOWTIME do not nor does SciFi but many of the ENCORE channels do have CC working. The guide says the others do but do not. Most local OTA HD channels display CCs.
We can cycle (recall) between an HD Encore channel that displays captions and an HD HBO which does not (and claims it does in the guide and does display them in the SD equivalent). This is repeatable on different HD TVs and both receivers so I do not think it is the receiver (or my TV as a service desk person insisted)
The picture is wonderful but I need the captions. Any suggestions would be welcome. (have been in e-mail echanges with DN for several weeks but nothing meaningful has happened).
