Lisamarie, there is an ad in the current June/July issue of "VOICE"
offering the TeleCaption 4000 decoder for $159.95 plus s+h.  This
is the best price I've seen lately.  It's from:

   Closed Caption Video Service
   Building F, 115 Route 46
   Mountain Lakes, NJ 07046

They're also offering a "buy one - get one free" deal on captioned
video movies, and will throw in a free video movie if you buy a
decoder from them.

The TeleCaption 4000 decoder is widely available elsewhere for
around $180, and NCI has been offering a $20 rebate but I'm unsure
if that is still available.

Also, I hear that Zenith expects to have TVs with built-in decoders
available by year end.  Soon the built-in decoder will be required
on most TVs.   If you do not care to invest in a decoder you might
be able to borrow one.

... Jack.
