No captions for CBS shows saved to DVR. CBS captions work on live stream

I have seen this is a problem in the past as well. When I spoke to directv they blamed CBS of course. They said if the captions were not in the live stream they would not be in the DVR - even though I specifically told them I see the captions in the live stream but they are "not available" for playing from DVR. This is only an issue with CBS.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
