I have a Samsung LN46C670 and it has Netflix as one of the apps. However, after going back and forth between Samsung and Netflix, I found out that Netflix has not written an app that is compatible with the LN46C670 for captions and several other Samsung models and they have no plans to write one. I bought this tv because it has a great pictue AND that it has the Netflix app. My wife is hearing impaired and requires the captions to watch any tv shows. Have I spent around $1000 for nothing? Netflix, when are you going to support all devices with the Netflix app? Why would you write an app for a device and not provides updates to adequately use it?

Roku box is capable of handing close captions. Netflix should start streaming captions on some of their library sometime in 2010. I checked this issue out with both Roku and Netflix when I got the box.

yep, this is huge deal with me too - and I've refused to subscribe to Netflix because of it. So, it's pointless to me to get a Roku box for now (although I could use it with Pandora but oh well, I can use my computer for that too.). Here's a link that discusses the issues, from Netflix's POV: http://www.deaftechnews.com/2011/01/25/netflixs-streaming-service-and-closed-captions/

closed captioning is not available at this time.Foreign language movies have English subtitles. (No way to choose audio track or subtitle language). Most foreign content is in the original language (I haven't come across one yet that is a dubbed version).

CC is available for certain titles if you are viewing from a computer browser, but not on Roku.

Roku fully support closecaption where netflix provide it. Meaning, most of the movies are available with closed caption on my roku.

Roku XD Streaming Player 1080p So far Netflix has not supplied closed captioning in the regular video streaming and it is almost 2011. Someone needs to see whether the ADA finds this a worthy topic since the hard-of-hearing are hearing-disabled. Are there no legal teeth to use on Netflix and Roku? For the moment, they should both post disclaimers on their current sites that streaming content is currently done without closed captioning. The potential ecomonic loss ought to be apparent to both the people making the streaming Roku players and the content providers, such as Netflix and nudge them in the direction of providing closed captioning.

NO. You cannot access Netflix or create a link that will work. I have spent some time on this and the only streaming sites I could reach were mostly the built-in chinese sites. Do not count on the manual either to help you, it is one of the least useful I have seen for such product, documenting the obvious, and silent on the rest.

thanks for your question but it will not stream Netflix it doesn't even have it on the there. it is very limited it does have youtube and Shoutcast radio and there hasn't been any update for a long time so maybe it might get it but i doubt it will get it it is a very good media player for any video you get from the web it will play it. it will not play web m video though but all the other common video it will play but if your looking for Netflix or the other services look elsewhere hope this helps you out

Not unless you use the RCA hook-up (red, yellow, white). Use of the HDMI cable somehow prevents the closed captioning from showing on screen, even if your television has this capability. CNET has some questions/answers about this.

Sorry I don't have a NETFLIX account so I can't quite tell you if it works or not.. but I do know that all Netflix needs is a WiFi connection. What I can do tell you is that it streams all kind of videos all you to do is install adobe air and reader stream any video on the web.So not sure by what do people mean when they say it don't stream.

Definite Yes. We watch subtitles on Netflix all the time, enabled through the Netflix menu.

Hi Leonel,Netflix is in the process of currently adding CC to their movie and TV collections for streaming. You should see this start to appear within the next few months.

Yes, we have been able to stream from netflix but have not tried other sources. I believe it will as long as you have access.

I love streaming Netflix on the Roku, but I believe there is also a lot of great free stuff that you can stream on the Roku, including many "private" channels or "beta" channels that aren't listed on Roku's web site. Try Googling "complete list of Roku channels" and look for this list on sites other than Roku's web site for a complete listing of channels. I love Netflix, but can also stay happily entertained with just all of the free channels that you can get on the Roku.

Some Dish and DirecTV receivers do not include the closed caption stream. I find it frustrating but you may need to find the solution through your content provider rather than through LG.

I have found that Netflix playback problems/buffering are related to network loading. It's *not* the player. I have very fast broadband so I may be seeing fewer buffering issues than other folks, but during the day, when fewer people are using Comcast because they are at work, this player streams Netflix at full HD pretty much 100% of the time for me.

All the movies on Netflix do not have closed caption. If it has not been converted to internetcc you will not get it. Internet cc and DVD cc are not conpatible.

Includes Closed Captions: Designed as a descriptive text service for the hearing impaired, and can be added onto DVDs.Includes Subtitles: Exists as a sub-image or video track that overlays onto the primary video when turned on.

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

Depends on the service. Netflix offers closed captioning and I believe Amazon and Hulu offer it on some of its videos.
