    Closed captioning not working on HDTV

    Hey TV experts, i need your help

    I have a 50" panasonic hdtv and i am having difficulty getting the CC to work. Here is a link to the specific model that i have. Amazon.com: Panasonic TH-50PX77U 50" 720p Plasma HDTV: Electronics

    For those of you who have one or have experience with it, i have been unable to get the CC to work on the HDMI. It only works when i change the input to regular cable (channels that are not HD) but the quality is crap ... especially football games. I called them and they said to look through the manual because it should work but i already did and it still isn't working. The manual is a little complicated to begin with as well.

    Hopefully someone can help me out here

    You are setting your cable box to show CC?

    I had to change the settings on the external device (input/output option) and allow CC to work. I overlooked it in the manual because i thought it was related to something else but i was wrong.

    I hate how they make 720p hdtv's without 1080i support.

    720p is better than 1080i anyway. 1080i does offer better color and clarity in slower images but as soon as the action starts 720p becomes the best. It'll be nice if we get 1080p from the cable co's.

    Well duh if you're showing half an image and then the other half on a guess of where the image will be next as interlacing does then you're going to get some sloppy lines, if the whole image is presented all at once as the action progresses then you will be able to capture each motion.
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
