Hey there, Anniedoggy​!

We see you're having trouble enabling the closed captioning on Roku, and we're here to help!

You might want to check out these steps below:

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote

Dude I said in the title and post that I am not using a Roku device. I don’t have a Roku remote to control the Roku Channel. How do I turn on closed captions with a Hisense 65A65k remote?
