Just bought a Toshiba 42LX177. I'm using a Comcast DVR wired to the TV with HDMI. I also hooked up the coaxial cable. When I watch it through the HDMI input, closed captioning is always on. If I switch the input to the generic antenna in cable, closed captioning will work fine. I can turn it off, turn it on, adjust the settings, etc. No matter what I try, I can't turn closed captions off while it's on the HDMI input. This is, as you can imagine, a little frustrating. Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated.
I had the same issue... here's what I did. If power off your cable box, then press the menu button, there's a selection to enable or disable Closed Captioning. This works for both HD series Motorola boxes Comcast offers, at least in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Hope this helps!

Comcast uses several different types of boxes but it sounds like the "box " is generating the closed caption and the set is simply displaying it. So what you should try if giving comcast a call and explain the problem and they can walk you through how to fix this problem

Turn closed captioning off on the television while your watching the hdmi input. Use closed captioning on the cable box only
