Since I heard about TV cards and video capture cards from my Computer Shopper,
cards can input video signal into the computer screen.  How about 
closed caption decoders like TextGrabber devicde from Electronics Now
(Nov. 94 issue) for them?  Do they have plans to implement CC decoder into
TV card or video capture card for deaf/hoh customers?

I heard that Apple, Inc had complied with decoder law in that to implement
CC decoder into Mac 630 series which has built-in TV function.  Third party
companies should implement CC decoders into video capture or TV card to
comply with CC decoder law.  Thank to CC decoder law for all TV set more
than 13 inch to required to have CC decoder internally.

I am not happy with them for not implement CC decoder into *ALL* video capture
or TV cards so that I decide to not buy them until they introduces CC decoders
for *ALL* of them!

Or I have to buy TextGrabber device to decode CC signal and put them on
full motion screen. Should I do that?
