I believe there is some sort of time allowed for new channels to get CC.

I believe there is some sort of time allowed for new channels to get CC.

maybe so but they have been showing those channels up on dish for last 2 years or so, and then why some programs and not others

I think generally if the description does not include (CC) then there won't be closed captions.
Unfortunately many despite having the designation still do not have captions.
That does not include the cases where the Dish receiver doesn't get and hold them. Bad Dish.

I recorded Hunger Games on a Hopper. The program description does not include (CC), but the movie is close captioned, at least it is on my Hopper.
