    youtube movie rental

    Don't know about Youtube, but Netflix has gotten moving on their captioned content. This site has a listing of captioned Netflix stuff: Philixie.com

    Much more captioned content on Netflix?

    From what I've seen you have to be a member of Netflix to see anything of value on their website. I may go ahead and try their free trial membership. They seem to have a number of shows I wouldn't mind seeing...like Mission Impossible TV series, and a couple of others I can't think of...

    Much more captioned content on Netflix?

    Using the links supplied in this forum to the lists of captioned content on Netflix, it appears that there has been an explosion of captioned TV shows. Has anyone verified that the lists are accurate? Will I be happier now if I subscribed to streaming Netflix than I would have been just a...

    Any Jack Reacher fan in here?

    Yes, The Glass Rainbow. DAMN fine book. One of the best I've ever read. RabidLamn...I think Reacher came into some money in one of the earlier books. Either one of his former commanders or the guy's daughter bequeathed Reacher or gave Reacher a bunch of money. He doesn't really use it except to...

    Any Jack Reacher fan in here?

    That's very possible. I don't see him retiring, either. Alafair is a good writer, but then I've only read two of her books (her first two). She has definitely learned from a Master, though. I think JLB said last year that he was writing a Holland book next, though I wish he wouldn't. Helluva...

    Any Jack Reacher fan in here?

    I don't know what to think, either...I was open-mouthed when I finished it. Very, very few books do that to me. Lord, what is he going to do next?? He hasn't said anything on his website.

    Any Jack Reacher fan in here?

    I think I read all but one. The one with his relative, Hack Holland in Rain Gods is very good, too. Just remembered...in one of the Reacher books Reacher leaves the apartment of a Seattle lawyer, or Asst. District Attorney (I forget which), after a night of sex, and that female character is a...

    Any Jack Reacher fan in here?

    YES! Tore my heart out! There was something about this book that just made it clear that "The End Is Nigh..." I don't want to give any spoilers, but this one and Tin Roof Blowdown had a very deep impact on me. I'm going to reread it this week.

    Any Jack Reacher fan in here?

    I have all the books, and they are excellent!! He's a hell of a lot more violent in the last one...almost like he's getting fed up with all the corruption he finds and he's going all out. He's a great character and I would love to see an HBO series with Reacher. :rockon: I would love to be...

    Netflix has announced the steaming video with update on the subtitles.

    The shortage of streaming CC or subtitles is exactly why I'm holding out on getting a subscription.

    Uverse...how is the captioning?

    Anyone have ATT's Uverse? How is the captioning; is it better than the missing letters and words that happen on Cox?

    Netflix streaming movies for PC- no CC?

    BUMP Any news on this? Have they started captioning or subtitling through the xbox or pc streams? I would like to get rid of cable and just go Netflix...but I'm not going to do it if the captions are lacking.

    Telecoil and interference

    My house was built in the 50s, so the wiring is basically unsheilded and asbestos wrapped. Awful, awful staticy buzzing. But I never had it with the analogs. I didn't know about separate equalizer for the Tcoil, so I'll ask my audi about that when I go in two weeks. Thanks!

    Blackberry and Telecoils

    My work might foist a Blackberry on me soon. Although I use a bluetooth neckloop, sometimes I have to use the telecoil with my 8525 to talk. Will the Bold work with telecoils? I'm hoping so because I think the Curve has keys too small for my fat fingers. :) The Pearl is out of the question...

    Telecoil and interference

    Thanks for the reply. It's also bad in some cars, my Matrix included. Drives me insane when I can't communicate. I use the Artone neckloop and it's great, but the background hum from electrical sources around me has me despairing.
