Hi
I just recently purchased a Samsung 50" HDTV and was shocked to find out that the CC does not work via HDMI (options on the TV are grayed out for CC using those connections).
I've tried with three different upconvert DVD players, hooked it up via HDMI and sure enough, no CC. Then somebody told me:
"Well I have looked into the DVD player from PHILIPS. and it will work with a HDMI cable and give you Closed Captions. It has the Captions Decoder in the DVD player.... The Philips 5960 DVD player will do what you need..."
Can anyone confirm this information?
