Channels & viewing

[SSMcDonald]

My complaint is that Movieland TV does not provide closed captions as required by the Federal American's with Disability Act {ADA}.

For the provider, David Jazz responded, "...The movies shown on Movieland are so old, they likely were never shown with captioning in the first place, And it would be near impossible to determine in any case."

Thank you Mr. Jazz. You are correct Old movies were never shown with captioning in the first place. You neglect to mention that captioning did not exist back then. In recent years other "channels" have successfully made the effort to adhere to the federal Law.

My complaint remains that Movieland TV is apparently not even making an effort to comply with the ADA. Synchronized closed captions is and has been technically available for more than a few years. No more pandering, make an effort to add synchronized closed captions to ALL your movies.

@SSMcDonald, did you send that to Movieland?  I haven't used the app, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're showing public domain movies.  I don't think there's anything in the ADA Act that covers old movies streamed via the Internet.  If anything, it would be the CVAA and I haven't found anything that states old movies/TV shows that never had captions have to include them now, but you're welcome to look through it.
