I too am very disappointed that Slingbox does not offer the closed caption feature.  Please advise if this is something the Slingbox development personnel are working on and if so when it is possibe this feature may become a reality.  Thank you,   Courtleigh 

I find this solution to this problem rather lazy and expensive.  But at the same time, I understand this Slingbox product caters to a specific market in mind and this closed caption issue was probably non-existence at the time you guys conceived this awesome product.  However, looking around, I am amazed that a software based closed caption decoder could not be integrated into your sling client programs.  I am not sure how much overhead this would produce on a computer but its out there and all DVD software players including Microsoft Windows Media player have them built in.

Is this something that can be supplied as a patch to your sling client programs for people who need closed caption decoding due to their handicapped nature?  I know I wouldnt expect it for a mobile device, but surely it can be done for a workstation or a desktop PC computer?  Is this also something you could provide as a beta product?

 Let me know what I could do to assist you guys in producing something like this, thanks.

I have used the DV1-AV close caption decoder described above between my Tivo and the Slingbox AV and it works great.  Close caption is very readable on decent bandwidth.
