20.4.6 has introduced a problem with the display of closed captions. The captions are disappearing quicker than they should. They appear on time, but in the case of a long sentence (ex: a three line caption), by the time the speaker gets halfway thru, the captions go away. They should stay up until the speaker finishes talking. It doesn't always do it, but it does it a lot of the time.
I started noticing this about a week or two ago, but at first didn't give it much thought. Then I realized it was happening far too often. I tested it by watching the same show on a 20.4.5 Premiere. The captions stay up as they should. I actually noted on which word they disappeared, and on the Premiere it was perfect, on both my Roamios, the captions blank out too fast.
Testing: I have recorded the same show on three units, an Elite, a Roamio basic recording OTA, and a Roamio Pro. On tonight's Criminal Minds, the two Roamios both exhibited this problem. The Elite did not. I then streamed the Elite's recording to the other two, and it happens. I then streamed the Roamio's recording to the Elite, and it did not happen. Bottom line: It doesn't matter where or who recorded it, OTA or antenna, playing on a Roamio causes it, but not the Premiere. Only difference: 20.4.6
It also happens on multiple networks. I haven't tested that many, but CBS & FX (Justified last night) both have it. And I believe it is significant that both antenna & cable have it; this eliminates Comcast as a problem.
I am very attuned to how captions work and display, as I am a 100% caption viewer. This is very disconcerting, and distracts from watching TV. I will file a complaint with TiVo, but want to post here too, to see if others notice this.
