CLOSED CAPTIONING CONSUMER ADVISORY
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
Some consumers have expressed concern about how digital-to-analog TV converter boxes will work and whether consumers will continue to receive closed captions after the transition to digital television takes place. The FCC wishes to reassure consumers that its rules do require digital-to-analog converter boxes to pass through closed captions. This advisory explains how consumers will be able to access closed captions using these converter boxes.
