I did read post 6 and if you read it it does NOT tell which blu ray players stream with CC only that some do. I have determined that my Vizio does not have this service available, so I need to take it back and find one that does. I also wanted to let people know how to find captions on an Apple TV. OK?

There's no CC on Netflix streaming but the company adds its own subtitles to its streaming movies one by one. Several BD players that can show it are listed in that thread.

I get CC on Law and Order, for example with my Apple TV streaming to my TV, but when I use the Netflix on the Blue Ray dvd player, it is not available on the very same episode, so it is dependent on the player after Netflix has done their part.

I do not know if an Apple TV works with a PC, but it does get CC when blu rays don't.

I am new to this group and new to my blue ray compatible HP laptop computer. What i don't know is whether - if i rent a redbox dvd with cc on it - the captioning will indeed automatically appear on my blue ray compatible HP laptop screen - or whether there is some setting that needs to be done on the computer itself - just as it might need be done on my TV if I had bought a blue ray compatible player for my TV? Can anyone help me?

Hi,

I have two BLU-RAY Players. Panasonic and Sony. I can get CC on NETFLIX
movies that have CC on my Panasonic. I can not get CC on the same movies
from NETFLIX on the Sony BLU-RAY player.

The Panasonic Netflix interface looks similar to connecting to the PC WEB interface to NETFLIX. The SONY NETFLIX does not have the same interface.

So has anyone contacted SONY and asked if they are going to correct this.
If I had know SONY did not support CC on NETFLIX I would not have bought it.

Thanks,
WGH

I contacted Sony about Subtitles for Netflix movies. They do not have any current plans to support Subtitles on Netflix movies through their Blu-Ray Players.

That's why it turns many people off. It has to be a specific model that has a capability. That's ridiculous.

I have netflix and they finally added subtitles for it.

CrazyPaul

Yeah, we know that but alot of us are not happy because about 50-60% of its streaming movies are not captioned. That's why NAD sues the company.

I called Netflix to see how to access CC on movies streamed from my Mac to my Vizio TV via my Sony Blu-Ray player and they told me that Sony Blu Ray players do not have this feature, but Samsung Blu-Ray Players do (only models BD/E 5300; BD/E 5700; BD/E 5900; BD/E 6500 and BD/ES 6000).

Netflix used to say that they were aware of the problem and were planning to make CC available, but apparently they haven't made much progress. I have no idea if the info regarding the Samsung models (above) is correct or not. Maybe I can call Samsung and find out or ask at Costco where I got the Sony Blu-Ray player which is useless to me w/o subtitles.

The Netflix tech support person also claims that if I get the DVD plan "many" of the films will have a subtitle option.

If anyone knows of a way to use Netflix streamed through a Blu-Ray rather than using the DVD option, I would appreciate knowing about it.

Thanks!

Netflix ought think about how much deaf out there. about 10 million deaf population in US. Netflix would make extra $84 million a month if all video stream have 100% Closed Caption.
