Do you ROKU?

Is Closed Caption available on the ROKU channels? it's spotty on Netflix streaming, and worse on Amazon/Prime... otherwise I would have dumped the cable company already. But maybe things have improved since the last time I looked into it. Anyone know?

I loved my Roku - the Mr. wants a BlueRay that streams Netflix etc. We can't agree so neither has been purchased.

I lurves my Roku and want to get a second one for the bedroom for when SU wants to watch post-apocalyptic weirdness and I'm not in the mood. Then I could watch all the Netflix in stead of Mad Max for the bajillionth time.

I've added Netflix, Pandora, Spotify, Hulu+ and a few private channels (terra, Smithsonian, woot, iTunes podcasts and nowhereman. The remote stinks, it won't sync, it will however blink methodically. I'm hoping they just send me a new remote.

I don't know if this will help, but maybe. I had this happen a few months ago, since I had an old remote around as a backup, I tried it, same thing. That made me think it might not be the remote. Went to the old tried and true unplug the power supply, and reboot that way. It worked for me, that was the only time in several years use of two units that it happened.

Good luck.

When I use it on Amazon Prime with my Roku, the captioning works well, though I'm not sure if it is available with every video.
