It returned to DirectTV that day, also. The channel is also seen as a sub station in various ares. Sunday programming seems t

Closed caption across middle or all over

I cannot get the close captions to be at the bottom of the screen. I need them but cannot have them blocking faces and other pertinent parts of the picture.  How do I get U-verse to display CC at the bottom of the screen. Resetting digital cc to defaults did nothing to help.

Is there a way to move the closed captioning lower on the screen?

I looked at all of the options on the menu tab and changed my font (lol) but couldn't move them down so they're not blocking the picture. I can make the font blue, yet I don't have the option to move the captioning.Am I missing something or do yall truly not have a way to fix this?

Some channels display CC about 1/3 rd from the bottom ( as preferred ) others display 1/3 rd from the top ( across faces )  I can't understand why anyone would program the CC to display close to the top as mentioned.

Mounting satellite

I live in a apartment complex, where I do have a private balcony but nothing can be attached to the building. I called Directv, and advised them of this situation, and they said that it would be considered a custom installation. My landlord said, that the satellite will have to be setup on a stand.
