No, you can't. And when I emailed Roku customer service (3 times) to ask about that, I never got so much as an acknowledgment, let alone an answer.

Yes it can. If the TV is set in "Video mode" and CC is turned on, it will display closed captioning. If you are using HDMI mode, the DVR has closed captioned settings that will display closed captioning independent of the TV's settings.

I have not tried this, but if a TV station or TV app streams live I don't see why you would not be able to watch it. Also, for archived stuff, there is a Hulu app, so that should work too.

The US Government requires that all streaming applications be able to support Closed Captioning in 2014 TVs. The Amazon Streaming Video app for Vizio did NOT support Closed Captioning in the 2013 version, so the app has to be reworked by Amazon to support Closed Captioning. Amazon was late to the party with Closed Captioning on their service, but to their credit, they are able to support it now on most of their movie choices on Roku. Since Vizio sells a lot of TVs now, I would expect this to be ready before June 2014, but I have no knowledge of that. Please note, however, that this is an AMAZON issue... NOT a Vizio issue. Coming from a long-time Amazon Prime customer, who complained about no Closed Captioning for quite some time.

Depends on what you mean by "captions." If you mean old-style cc--white letters against a black rectangle, they will only play if you use composite input or component at 480i. Starting with 480p, that kind of cc is not supported by any player; HDMI doesn't support cc either. Switchable subtitles will play on anything.

Why can't I get "closed caption" on my Vizio tv when watching streaming movies from Amazon?

Not that I know of. One of my problems with this series of LG TV's (I have the 42" version) is that a lot of the functions are just too much trouble, including the one you mentioned. Closed caption is a another good example. You can't set it to come on automatically when you put the TV on mute, or even have a 1 or 2-step toggle on the remote to turn closed caption off and on. Sorry I couldn't give you a positive "how-to" in answer to your question.

Under "General Setup Page" menu setting using the SETUP button to get the setup menu. "Closed captions...closed captions are data that are hidden in the video signal of some discs. Before you select this function, please ensure that the disc contains closed caption information and your TV set also has this function." Directly from enclosed user's manual.

It seems like you used to be able able to - but I think they deactivated the output in the last few updates. Same goes for Netflix & Amazon Instant Video

I learned the hard way that CC does not work on an HDMI connection.There is a faster way to change closed captioning on a COMCAST DCT64--:1) TV and cable box are on.2) Using COMCAST remote, press these buttons in order:3) CABLE ... POWER ... MENU4) Use arrows to select and/or change CLOSED CAPTION5) When CLOSED CAPTION IS ENABLED, the CC options may be changed.6) Press MENU to save changes7) Press POWER to turn the cable box back on

I do not see "closed captions" in any of the menu sections. Did you get your TV working again? Do you have TCL 40inch LCD TV? Thanks anyway.

I am not sure. I have Phonax hearing aids . Com pilot is great. T.V with no closed caption is a new experience. I have profound loss and it works for me. Using my phone for the first time in years. Hope it works out for you. !!!

Sony BDPS790 Blu-Ray Player not honoring External subtitle and closed caption for all video streams.It supports External Subtitile only for AVI video format. Sony support keeps big silence for this kind of queries.

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.

Close captioning print is much bigger than the channel print. There's also a menu item to customize the size, but allowing the standard broadcast captioning is plenty big to see from several feet away. I don't use the feature, but I checked it out and it looks like it would be fine for people who use it
