Night Elf Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 My mom is trying to figure out if she can get close captioning with the new Roku box. Hers is old and she says it's not close captioning available. I know that Netflix has close captioning on many of their shows but my mom says she can't get it because of the Roku box. Is this true?

Cosmos Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have heard that the new ones do support it. We have an older one that does not. On the product page it should say whether or not CC is supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oh, I was curious and found this http://support.roku.com/entries/22119092-does-netflix-on-roku-support-subtitles-or-closed-captioning Does Netflix on Roku support subtitles or closed captioning? Roku Support posted this on October 05, 2012 15:14 Yes. In the Netflix Channel on the Roku 2, if subtitles are available you can enable this feature. This is still dependent on the individual movie or show to have this feature. To enable subtitles in a Netflix movie or tv show: Click on a movie or show title On the play menu screen, you should see an option labeled "audio and subtitles" if it is available Select "audio and subtitles" and click OK Use the directional arrows to select "English" under Subtitles and click OK Click the back button once or the up directional key a few times until you are back at the play menu screen Click OK on the play or resume options It does sound as though the Rokus before 2 do not support cc.

Night Elf Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have heard that the new ones do support it. We have an older one that does not. On the product page it should say whether or not CC is supported. I just talked to my mom and she's SO technology challenged! I just looked on the main Roku page and found the information about CC with Netflix and Hulu Plus. She was reading something about it on Wikipedia and thinking she was on the main site. Good grief!

raceNzanesmom Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yep, you can set it to automaticly show CC if the show has it available or turn it on for each showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
