Closed CAptions Dish Network

[Little Juniata]

Had Direct TV for a long time, I recently switched to Dish Network, the closed captions in a lot of stations are garbeled is this common, I had no trouble with Direct TV: Dish tells me it is my TVs?? Thanks for any and all advice

Welcome to SatelliteGuys!

What kind of receiver is it? (Model Number) as there are a few Dish Network receivers that have been known to have problems with Closed Captioning in the past.

The CC data is sent over the video signal (in the extra scan lines under what's shown), so if something is wrong with that signal or something screwy is in its path to the TV you'll get garbled CC. You didn't mention the picture quality so I assume the video looks OK. Is there anything connected between the receiver and the TV? What connection(s) have you tried (RF/coax, S-Video, RCA, ...)?

FYI: If the poster is using an 811, then the 811 does the CC decoding, not the TV. And, until the last software upgrade, the 811's CC was very flaky. So, it isn't necessarily a problem with the TV or its connection.

always good to use punctuation helps to distinguish what your question is some people might be confused if you run all of your sentences together it isnt hard to do

Two receivers are Dish 311 the DVR is DishDVR510 The pictures are great, but they lose signal more than the Direct TV did especially in the rain.
