Closed Capyioning

I have noticed a SERIOUS decline in the closed captioning presentation over the last few months. Complete sentences are eliminated or truncated so badly only the last three or four words are displayed. Recently a full minute or more was not captioned at all. Captioning is not presenting enough text to be able to follow story lines or interviews.

Will or is this issue being addressed?

What DirecTV DVR/Receiver do you have?

What channel(s)?

Typically Closed Captions are provided by the network/station. DirecTV just relays them.

With that understanding, it's clear this is not a DTV issue.

Interestingly I have seen the decline in quality of closed captioning, I believe this is because they are using computers to listen to the audio, and they clearly don't have the reasoning power of humans yet...
