When the DTV STBs were first introduced, all the cheaper STBs didn't have the CC feature. They expected those who required the feature to fork out well over $1k for the "top-of-the range" model.
I was so furious at the time, I wrote a number of complaints to the Telecommunications Authority demanding that the CC feature should be mandatory for all STBs.
My TV has the inbuilt HD tuner and the CC are working on all the channels except NineHD so I gota watch their stuff in SD if I wanna understand what's happening.
I ave noticed some cheaper STB's still don't ave the CC function working!
Mine died a couple months back it was a good Li'l toy I could record shows with the subtitles onto DVD and the subtitles were the type yer could make a wee bit see-through so it doesn't block half the screen when yer watching Girls Of The Playboy Mansion
c'mon everyone knows wee Deaf Bhoy doesn't watch garbage like that!
I'm thinkin of buying a HD STB so then I can record the extra content that is on HD channels onto DVD there's probably nae point getting a SD STB anymore?
Wonderful start to me career here already needing to edit a post.
