        In *principle*, closed captioning is available.  But Mom has a   
   strict 'no closed captioning' rule [1], and to that end she's hidden away   
   the TV remotes needed to get at the captioning options on the TV.  The   
   Tivo remote will handle volume just fine, though, so we're allowed to   
   use that.   
      
   [1] She's mildly hyperlexic, like me, and has an awful time trying to   
   *not* read, or at least look at, text on the screen.  As a result the   
   closed captioning is a maddening distraction from the other things she   
   is particularly tring to read.  I'm better at glancing at it every ten   
   or so seconds and getting the captions that way.
