Do anyone know where I could get one?
 
close caption box? I dont clearly get it, could you be more specific? Are you looking for CC on TV, Youtube or something?
 
He's talking about a CC decoder set-top-box which used to be more common before they mandated TVs to be sold with CC decoders built in. I used to have one.
 
There's CC decoder.
Harris Communications

In US, If you have TV that made after July 1993 then it supposed have CC decoder built-in and must be 13 inches or over.
 
if get CC decoder box then Feb 17, 2009, (4 1/2 months left) no longer ANALOG!!! :shock:

But ATSC OTA Box have bulti-in DTV-CC
 
You probably can get a new TV with cc ready for the same price or cheaper than the cc decoder itself. Unless you have another reason for needing the cc decoder...

Incorrect.

On January 23rd, 1990, the Television Decoder Circuitry Act of 1990 was passed by US Congress. This Act gave the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) power to enact rules on the implementation of Closed Captioning. This Act required all analog television receivers with screens of at least 13 inches or greater, either sold or manufactured, to have the ability to display closed captioning in July 1, 1993. The FCC later placed the same requirements on digital television receivers due on July 1, 2002. All the TV programming distributors in the United States must provide closed caption for Spanish language video programming by January 1, 2010.

Closed captioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Television Decoder Circuitry Act of 1990

It's effective in July 1, 1993, not in Aug 1993 or so.
 
I wonder if it would make a difference if the OP is a foreigner?
