    Netflix and closed captions on DVDs

    No, many movies have neither. If a DVD has one or the other I'm content, but each title on my list has neither. Also, as I mentioned before I know netflix is not responsible for putting closed captions on DVDs, but what really grills my cheese is that Netflix will clerly list Closed...

    Thanks for mentioning this, I saw the Planet Earth DVDs in the store the other day, and I won't be getting them now. I can't understand it either, "Mystery science theater 3000" episodes on DVD aren't closed captioned, it was closed captioned when it aired on TV. It can't be about money...

    Netflix and closed captions on DVDs

    I've been a subscribing to NetFlix for several months and not every disk has closed captions or English subtitles, I know that NetFlix has no control over whether or not a DVD is captioned but it really pisses me off when NetFlix claims that it's closed captioned and I get the disk I find out...

    Prove me wrong, Cast/Crew

    I don't think you're retarded, you might have a cognitive handicap but I don't think you're retarded. I believe you wrote it. I also believe you need more practice. There are a lot of reasons to not be hired for a job. If you have no education beyond high school, and no skills, that's the...

    Having Problems Hearing

    Either one would be fine, It's likely that one will refer you to the other. If you know a good ENT dr, but don't know an audiologist, see the ENT first, or vice versa. I think you should see an audiologist first though, You'll find out how much hearing you've lost, and the audiologist can...

    Hotels have captioned TV's?

    All TVs (13" and larger) were required to have CC decoders, if manufactured after July of 1993. Not all motels have CC enabled TVs, I stayed at a Super 8 in Marquette, MI last month and the TV was manufactured in 1989. no CC decoder. I complained at the front desk and they told me the only way...

    Speech reading for the slightly hard of hearing

    Yes, That's how my hearing was when I decided to teach myself lipreading. Don't worry about the 30% thing, don't even think about it. Yes, learning to lipread will help a lot. Also if your hearing loss is progressive you'll become more dependent on it as time goes on. If you make a...
