As you all know by now by several threads here, Netflix SUCKS!
They think they have enough customers so they don't need to cater to the deaf or old folks who need caption for streaming movies.
Netflix also doesn't want to be bothered by email.
This is discrimination and needs to STOP!!!
First have a hearing friend call netflix and tell them they are being boycotted and why.
Second Have ALL your family & friends boycott Netflix!
Third, use either Blockbuster which has DVD-by-mail and great service.
(Netflix forces you to buy streaming first, then add DVD by mail.)
Hulu has caption streaming movies. However nowhere as many as netflix by a long shot, but better than nothing. Their TV series is pretty good too.
I emailed them yesterday about caption and guess what?
They actually answered the email within a few hours and here is what they had to say:
Hi Jack,
Thanks for writing in! We definitely want to bring closed captioning to all the devices supported by Hulu Plus. We're working hard on ensuring that the caption experience on each device is optimal and accurate and that captions play correctly and in sync with the video.
For your Samsung Blu-ray, in order to get the captions, follow these instructions:
1. Play a closed-captioned video
2. Press the down arrow on your remote until you see green brackets highlight the "Browse" option
3. Press the right arrow until the "CC" option is highlighted
4. Press the Enter key (the button in the center of the arrows) to toggle between "Off" and "On"
We will be updating our applications across all platforms and devices regularly to add new functionality, and we will update you as soon as we have more news to share. Thanks for your patience!
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Happy viewing!
Thanks,
Max S.
