There are several ways to get closed caption for movies and videos you watch over the internet and I thought I would list a few:
(NOTE: I'm listing this from memory, but you'll get the idea)
CBS (got this from the net, link below):
Go to CBS TV Network Primetime, Daytime, Late Night and Classic Television Shows. Find a *full* episode of a series that you're interested in and click on it. To turn the captions on, bring your cursor into the middle of the video to see the menu show up. Look for and click on the plus sign for "More" on the lower right hand side, click again on "CC captions" just once. (Unfortunately, there seems to be no immediate visual indication of when the captions activate except by waiting to see if the captions show up; the letters of "CC Captions" don't change color or shading noticeably.) You'll have to click on the bar on the right hand side to bring the video back to the beginning point because you will have missed the beginning dialog.

MTV:
MTV now has closed caption, you will see a little cloud on the menu bar. Select the cloud and check the caption option then click OK.
BOXEE:
Boxee used to have closed caption integration with Open subtitles, but that is no longer the case. Now, you have to download the subtitle from opensubtitles org and then run it when you view a movie.
Go to opensubittles and search for the movie. Select the movie that matches the title you want to watch in boxee such as language and DVD or blueray type, etc.
Dowload the zip file and extract it into a local directory. This will extract an srt file which is the caption file.
1. Start the movie in Boxee: During a movie click on the screen to make the menu appear.
2. Click the round gear in the upper right of the screen.
3. There will be a subtitles none item, but that is not what you want. You want to select the item that allows you to load them. Search your drive for the downloaded files and select the srt file for that movie.
You will now have subtitles during the movie.
Hulu:
You don't need to pay Hulu to get subtitles. If they exist for the movie or show, you can make the appear by setting that option in your user settings/preferences.
1. Log into Hulu
2. Go to settings and select closed captioning (not exact, but you get the idea)
All show after that will have caption if they contain them.
