Closed Caption Directv Problem

If you have Directv service and the closed caption is being displayed, you may think it is an option on your Directv box you need to fix. That was my impression when I first encountered this problem. After several minutes of checking Directv menu options and settings, I could not find anything to turn off the closed caption display. It turned out that if the TV settings are active, closed caption will be automatically be fed from Directv to the TV display. So to remove closed caption when you have Directv service, you must do it from the TV settings and not the set top box that comes with the satellite service.
