I am hard of hearing, so closed captions (CC) is one of the most important features to me when purchasing anything for my tv. Seeing that the new Apple TV only uses HDMI (built-in CC on TVs won't work with an HDMI feed), I was concerned about whether or not it would provide CC with the video feed that goes to my TV. So I called up Apple tech support and they confirmed that it does provide CC. Ordered mine on the spot! Now I will be able to stream Netflix to my TV with CC!!!
