My kids turn my CC off my TV when I'm not home (it's 65 inch widescreen) and it pisses the beejeezus out of me. I tell them, "You have your 'hearing' TV (42 inch widescreen) downstairs. USE IT!!"

It's a good one Beklak. It would be neat if it could be used and put as a sign a business who wants deaf customers, and I would support businesses that used it.

That is a really neat idea. (Wait...do people still use "neat"?:giggle:)

She explained it in her post. That is the deaf TV. They have a hearing TV downstairs.

It irritates me if someone turns the captioning off on my TV, as well, and I'm not even deaf. But I do use the captioning. So leave it the hell alone.

Does it save the setting when you turn off the tv? I think that my ancient tv does.

I don't think it does. That is why it would be annoying if captions are turned off without consent of the one who needs them.

No, and I have to reset every time someone turns it off. It is a big no no in my house!:giggle:

Mine does the same thing.... which is why I don't like watching movies with them. Every time I ask they huff and puff about it, where as my guy's family does it without even having to ask!

It's *MY* space. *MY* room. It's where I feel like me. It feel, when they turn the CC off, like they don't respect me. I don't know if I can explain.

I can TOTALLY understand that!!! When I lived at home my bro would could into my room and watch movies, I find the captioning off! Now, I can see if I wasn't home and it was the living room tv, but when its in YOUR room, no thats your space.

Because it take a lot to turn it back on. Hassle. Plus, they should respect *MY* room. If they don't want to see CC then go downstairs!! We have large house they do not need to be in *my* room and fiddle? with my settings.

It do not revert? I have to shut off receiver then program it but you cannot do the CC if something is recording and I have dual PVR. So, then I have to wait for recording to finish before turning CC back on my TV. Uggh! Very vexing.

Makes sense, I can see why you're upset. Is there any sort of parental control on there?

Maybe it takes just a simple thing as locking your room door while you are out?

My mom feels the same way. My brother turns it off because he "doesn't wanna have to read it," then my mom comes in and is like, "Why the crap did you turn off CC on my TV? You know I don't understand what's going on without it!"

Oddly, the only time he's ever turned CC on was on the TV in my dorm's laundry room on a program on he wanted to watch when he and my mom came to visit. Nobody else has bothered to turn it off. :P

It is not the kind of room to lock. It is on main floor of house, off kitchen, but was *my* room. Teenagers have huge downstairs area and their own TV. I think they just like bigger TV plus I have surround sound so if watching action movie there is lots of boom.
