For the most part the movies Bill likes to watch don't seem to show the cc - on news the cc is out of sync with the speech. Although I can usually understand newscasters.

You may want to check the settings on your TV for movies. They do not automatically appear on Netflix, Hulu, etc. This is true even when you have your TV set for captions on regular programs. Delayed captions are a reality in most live presentations like news. It's a split second, but it's still there. We always have the captions on, but I try to listen rather than read. With it being a split second after the speech, I'm often able to pick up something I missed. Have been using captions for so long that I'm used to that.
