As far as I know, all PBS channels offer closed-captioning as well as descriptive programming comments.
Of course, this is only offered when the closed-captioning is already on the original material.
Check your online listings.
For example, Inspector Lewis is listed as:
Sun10/189:00-10:30pm13WNET NEW HD CC STEREO
Sun10/189:00-10:30pm886WNET NEW HD CC STEREO
The CC indicates Closed Captioning.
I believe most, if not all of the newer PBS mystery/masterpiece programming is closed captioned.
That being said, I just checked the recordings I made of the last two Poirot episodes from PBS and there is no closed captioning.
I guess it's pot luck. _________________ In a world which uses "text" as a verb and is at sea between the Casimir and Coriolis effects, it is clear that understanding Qubits and Quantum Entanglement is impossible. Darwin had it backwards. Corpses are Improvements and History refutes itself. |
