I have read that the channel print you are watching is small. Does anyone know if the closed captioning print is small as well?

Close captioning print is much bigger than the channel print. There's also a menu item to customize the size, but allowing the standard broadcast captioning is plenty big to see from several feet away. I don't use the feature, but I checked it out and it looks like it would be fine for people who use it

I don't think it is small like on an old box tv. It is much bigger than that. It is easy to read. It is the size of print on HLN when they introduce a story. It's just like the big bold letters except they aren't in bold.

Items viewed on the Archos screen look great. However, they are not so sharp when I view them on my 46" HD TV - that may be because of the output resolution or simply because of the big screen size! I'm still testing.

Your connection may be too slow or the encoding quality of the content is aggressive/compressed. I've noticed the same thing with cable tv "HDTV" channels that were heavily compressed.

Im watching it :D just adjust your resoulution a bit, since this one has problems a bit with 1920x1080 at 60 hz resolutions.

Hello Pam, The captioning is provided free of charge by the FCC and is in real time. When you answer an incoming call, it is best to ask the caller to hold while a live captioner connects to the call. There is a slight delay while that happens but it isn't bad. I use one of these in my office as I am hearing impaired. I have had it for about 4 months now. It works well and for those who use it but aren't hearing impaired, the captioning feature can be turned off and a captioner will not connect.

My understanding is it is 720p. When looking at TV this size, 720p was still the most popular in my search. It will take 1080p in, but then down-scale it to 720.

I would agree with the channel switch. I spent a lot of time swearing at one because of the same issue. Otherwise they have been great and you may have just gotten a bum set.

I received my KDL-46XBR4 about 3 weeks ago. I have never heard any fan while watching it. And it gives an outstanding picture.

I too am interested in this feature. I thought I was the only one that thought the dialogue was quiet & the music/effects too loud. This is MOSTLY blamed on poor mixing by whoever was responsible for creating the disk you are watching. I'm also interested in it so the commercials don't SCREAM at me on the rare occasions when I watch live TV.

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

I think the captioning is by live operators...they may also use software but when you turn the CC on, there is a slight delay while a live operator logs on.The captioning is pretty good, some drops, but I rank it better than the CaptionCall and just a little behind our Captel. We use it as our main phone and the CaptionCall is downstairs. The Captel is *retired*.

Well....I have really Not had any problems regarding the Speed of the Captions. I had purchased this for my Father for he is Deaf in one ear and Hearing Aid in the other. So what happens when He makes a Call or when he Receives a call he simply gives the Caller a Heads-Up about the CapTel and to simply Speak a bit slower and that seems to do the trick. IF the Caller does speak faster, I have found the CapTel keeps right up with it. Keep in mind though that there is about a 3-4-5 Second delay after the Caller speaks, which is really No biggie. It can be a tad bit confusing a first....but you really do get used to it. And if my Dad can do it....I am sure anyone else can :-) Good Luck !

To those recommending youtube, even if you have fast internet, the streaming can get in the way of picture quality. I'd suggest downloading the clips on a computer to a USB and plugging that into the TV. That way you're seeing the video as it's intended and it is amazing.

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

Yes it does. Some channels only have the regular tv format. If the channel you are watching only broadcasts in that format then it con only be shown that way. Push the picture button on the remote then push the picture size to 16.9 aspect ration arrow up 2 postitons then left or right cursor.

I own an, "Insignia," model Blu Ray player, that I stream Netflix on. And it has the SUBTITLE option in its' settings, and a SUBTITLE button on the remote. Yet when I try using it while watching Netflix, even on a show that I am told has Closed Caption, like, "Mad Men," all I get is that NO CAN DO, little red circle, with that diagonal line. So I just do not get it???!!!

You must have it on wide screen, reduce the image. I noticed when I first got it the picture was terriable, but when I reduce the size of the screen the picture has been perfect ever since. For the price we paid it's really not bad.
