That's why it's better to include CC decoders with everything these days, not just the TV sets.

Yes, that's correct. I was explaining to steel and Pacman that Xbox 360, the system does have a CC/Subtitle feature. Turn it enable and it works. I have done it because I saw it with my own eyes. I found out last month when i went to my deaf friend house and we were debating Xbox elite system with 120GB. I said why 120gb? he said download movies from MS marketplace. I said its pointless because there is no CC. he was like what the fuck are you talking about? and I am showing you. I was like ok and gulped. I said HOW? what did you do? I checked and he was using HDMI. I don't understand if HDMI works and then component should be working also but not.
You also right that I have a digital cable with HDMI through my HDTV and it does have CC because digital cable has built in CC decoder or something. and It turns CC on.
