No monthly fee for this TVGuardian set-top box. No setup fee. Remember that the TVGuardian uses the hidden closed-caption information to detect profanity. Some thing like streaming video and other types of broadcasts doe not have closed-captioning. Try the TVGuardian LT today for 45 days. If it doesn't work for you, we will take it back. Thanks!

Not sure what convert box is. This product receives satellite (wireless) signal and feed it to TV via co-axial cable.

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.

No you don't need a converter box as long as the TV's you are hooking up to are digital ready or HD TV's and to your seconded question I'm not sure what convertor is the best I never had to use one hope this helped.

It will connect to the convertor box yes, but of course not directly to your old analogue tv input

Like most HD televisions the tv does not decode the captions for HD cable programs etc. You need to use the cable remote to turn on the captions via the cable box, and they should work. Expect a lot of caption errors especially with the local stations since many do not carry the digital HD captions. I would also google the internet for captions and HD tvs/cable and you'll see that it is really a mess.

I have a HD TV and was able to hook it up direct without a converter box. If its an older TV you would need a converter box.

Final Answer: Including CC on an HDMI cable has not been defined or agreed upon by the TV makers. CC is only well defined on 480i, the standard TV format. You can get closed caption from the COMCAST box, but you cannot turn it off and on without turning the cable box off and on. It is as simple as that, the CC information does not cross the HDMI above 480i, if then.

If you go to the menu (on the remote), one of the sections in the left column will show a "closed captions" section in the right column. You can adjust the closed caption settings there. (Sorry I can't give more specifics because I just got my TV today and after updating the firmware the TV is now completely dead. But that's my understanding from having messed with the settings before that happened.)

No the converter box is not required, but if you do not have an HDTV you will still need the box.

As long as the Closed Captioning mode on the TV has already been activated, yes. Closed Captioning really is more of a function of the TV than the remote.

Thanks for the reply on the closed caption problem. I tried it but still with no success. I turned off the box with the TV on and could not access the menu that way. I'm not sure how this could be possible with the cable box off. Do yo have the link for that topic in the AVS forum.Thanks again
