Just as bad is when these services offer closed captions/subtitled but have no way of filtering searches and not much of a way of a viual cue to let people know a program has captions.

I would like youtube and such to have a better solution than their beta solution.

you can’t even use the netflix service to rent one item, you have to get a subscription ( i’m not sure about blockbuster but i think its the case as well)

amazon should already have the captions since most shows are required by the FCC to be caption if they are intended to be broadcasted) heck even tv made for the us market above a certain size are required to have built in caption decoders.

yes & no, its value that i can’t take advantage of. and pretty sure that it was part of prime from the start could be wrong tho) secondly for those exclusive streaming item that amazon has my only recourse now is to get physical media or hope its playing on tv. physical media with the exception of netflix and to some extent blockbuster. is hard to come by without purchasing. (those redbox type devices don’t have a large enough selection to cover these issues.)

there is a class action lawsuit going on with netflix for its so called “deaf tax”) that affected the hearing impaired community for the time they bundled streaming with their disk service
