I get TV stations that have no CC and Comcast refuse to do anything to try and get the stations to have CC. Is there anything you can buy to hook up to a TV to have CC? I know there use to be something but I was told is nothing to buy because TV come with CC now.
 
If the station refused to show CC, then CC encoder will not make it CC. I beleive all TV that are made after 1994 (?) are already has CC encoder.

I get CC on most stations I watch but there are 3 stations that have no CC for any of their shows or movies . Crap ,so you mean there is nothing I can do to have CC ?? I try turning the sound up but that does not help as I hard trouble understanding what being said sometime.

I dunno why... if they won't put CC on their shows and there's nothing you can do about it. And if the stations are in USA, they have broke FCC regulation.

  • Why are some movies closed-captioned and others are not?
  • We know that not all of the movies shown on THIS TV are closed-captioned as of right now. As you may be aware, we are a new network and it’s going to take us some time and a lot of work to get all the movies we show closed captioned. Fortunately, the FCC recognizes that doing these kind of things takes time and gives new networks such as ours four years to be closed captioned. Please know that we take great pride in our unique brand of programming and we are committed to providing it with closed captioning. And we are diligently working towards the goal of being fully captioned as soon as we reasonably can. But it’s going to take some time.

Four years? That sucks. Fortunately for them, unfortunately for us.
