<br>Those are EIA-608 captions...<br><br>-- Daniel<br><br></blockquote></div>Thanks, Daniel. Now I understand. Although I'm using cable, I do get weak signals, because I split the signal 4-way, even though I have an amplifier before the splitter. And FusionHDTV Lite does not have a particularly strong tuner. Anyways, I'll probably have to live with it for now.
