    DirecTV Charges for Closed Captions

    I had this problem too, It was completely ridiculous. I did upgrade to the HD box eventually only because I bought an HDTV. Even with the HDTV boxes DirecTV on-demand movies do not support closed captioning. D-TV is a mess.

    in tears today..

    If you're hearing loss is in the moderate-moderately severe-severe range and you really want to hear well again you'd get yourself a pair of hearing aids with a good telecoil system and buy yourself an assistive listening device to use with the TCoil. Hearing aids on their own just dont help...
