[QUOTE="x1heavy, post: 2550245, member: 97095"] We use subtitles off the DVD (HD or Blue ray) Problems begin when we use the old VCR Format or broadcast TV. Captioning generally keeps up well enough but not very good because all of the broadcasters constantly use that space for little cartoon advertisements which knock the captioning off totally for a few moments. We finally dropped the dish satellite when they killed the local services over money. And the technology with them was approaching 20 years old and video etc will freeze on our LED Television etc. Annoying. These days we get formal movies through You tube when we can, usually translate in the settings from whatever language to english. We do use alot of ad blockers to keep the thing behaving while it plays beginning to end. Broadcast TV is not that inviting anymore. Generally crap content off one of the tallest antenna systems in the free world (Redfield 2000 feet up) and we are 80 some odd miles give or take from the damn thing so we need bigger antennas than normal to get it. ITS very useful during tornado outbreaks when our weathermen are on storm watch live with us for various tornados coming through town. You generally don't need captioning too much for that. Especially if it is getting violent as they pass by walking the earth. I have not gone to theaters in so long. The last movie was pretty crappy and not believable.
