not really on the roamio - but I have series 2 . My model is the LAST model to be able to fast forward in first speed and still be able to see the captioning and still watch the show. now the new ones like roamio cant from what I heard. I first had the monthly payment at 12 bucks a month and after 2 years i upgraded it to lifetime. I shoulda gotten the lifetime. less hassle with payment. I had it for over 6 years and still counting. FYI , the tivo desktop captioning show transfer doesnt work. I dont know if they fixed it in roamio.
