TV mystery solved

[susandennis]

So... since I'm old and cranky and lazy, I sometimes have trouble hearing the dialog on the TV. So sometimes - for some movies or things like The Wire, sometimes I turn on Closed Captioning.

I could have sworn that when you mute my TV all the way, you get Closed Captioning on stations that provide it.

The Netflix Player does not have Closed Captioning. But, I thought if I muted the TV entirely (using the non-TV speakers for sound) the Captioning might magically appear. It didn't.

So I started fiddling with the CC settings.

Apparently, my TV thought I wanted to fuck with the Closed Circuit settings. The Front Door TV Network station is on a closed circuit.

My TV is not too bright, I think. But, once I set Closed Cationing to never, Closed Curcuit tv went back to its normal joyus self.

Oh! There's the mail man coming in with his goodies...

I wish Stan would read closed captioning. I've got hearing problems too, but man....when I turn on the TV in the morning, I swear the sound blows my hair back.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but when playing DVD's, I think you need to look under the language section on the DVD's main menu for the caption options rather than using the TV's closed caption settings.

Um, never mind.

Just realized that Netflix player downloads the movies, and I think I put my foot in my mouth again in that other comment of mine. :/
