I am considering buying a HDTV and am trying to understand when closed captions are available or not available on a HDTV. I was wondering if others could answer my questions so I know if my assumptions are right or wrong. 1. Is it true that when a HDTV receives a HD stream, the stream has no...

I'm interested. Can you give me the information about the bilateral implantation forum at St. Louis Children's Hospital this November 9th? I think this would be a useful event for me. Thanks, Erik P.S. I registered just so I could request this information :)
