[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

I'm not a big TV fan.  However, if I do watch a program it has to be
closed captioned for me to sit and watch it.

Well, last week a friend who works at the same Military Post where
I do asked if I watched a program named "Inside Edition".  She said the
captions were terrible.  Since she lives in Philadelphia, PA, we first
assumed that it was the result of her cable tv service.  So, since I
live in NJ and use a different cable tv service I made it a point to
watch this program for the past two evenings.  I must say for the
quality of these captions I have to wonder why they even waste the
money for it.

Now the bottom line question is do you or are you having the same
problem from wherever you live with this program?  If you've not watched
it would you please make an attempt and post your impressions good or bad
about the quality of the captioning of this program "Inside Edition"?  We
have made copies of the program which we plan to forward to NCI to follow
up with since there seems to be no response coming from either of the cable
tv services.  Please post here in SilentTalk.  Thanks.
                                                        Wayne
