Closed captions have suddenly completely disappeared for me on both HBO HD and Showtime HD. Seems to be affecting all HD programming on those two channels only (captions on the SD channels of HBO and SHO for the same programs viewed at the same time are fine). I noticed it for the first time tonight (Sunday trying to watch Generation Kill) but based on my recent recordings (VIP722), it goes back at least as far as last Friday 7/11, but no earlier than last Monday, the 6th.
Earlier recordings display the captions with no problems, only recent (since Friday for me) and all current HBO HD and Showtime HD shows are affected. I also see that HBO/SHO HD shows that I watched earlier last week (Weeds for instance) that displayed captions normally when I saw them on Monday, are no longer showing captions in repeats of the same episode. I also have Starz HD and captions are showing up normally -- only HD Showtime and HD HBO are affected.
I dread having to call Dish customer support about this -- anyone else out there experiencing the same problems?
