fyi – i have a blue ray player and a HD TV and the blue ray won’t transmit captions either!

i’ve been using subtitles without any trouble up till a few days ago when I rented “mad money” – no subtitles. gasp – can’t watch the show.

I think AppleTV does have CC feature. I have a macbook and it does have cc feature for my dvd movies.

Yep, CC. Not subtitles.
