as a hearing impaired person, i am very interested in the status of CC on hdtv. does anyone have this capability on their hi-def stations?

 

[SeanKelly]

Yes. Several of the digital stations in the San Francisco Bay Area include closed captioning in their broadcasts.

The two stations I receive in my area have CC (NBC and PBS). The odd thing - the PBS station's CC doesn't work when they are passing the PBS National HDTV feed about 7-10 pm, but the simulcast of their analog programming from 7 am to 7 pm has captions working fine.

KOIN is the only station in Portland, OR providing Closed Captioning on all program services, HD and SD.

Also keep in mind that many of the STBs (including the Dish 6000) do not [yet?] support closed captioning. CC is invoked in a completely different way with DTV; i.e. it's no longer part of the VBI.

Yes, good point to note. I can confirm that closed caption display works on the Samsung SIR-T150.

I am also using a Samsung SIR-T150. Like you, I'm hearing impaired, so I had a similiar question about CC. I heard from some other users that the RCA DTC100 and the Toshiba DS3000 work with CC. No idea which STB won't work with CC.
