One of the features I am trying to retain is commonality of remotes which will cease once I cut the cord. I have chosen to use firesticks to cure that.

I have successfully downloaded Xfinity Stream to all TVs and can successfully operate with the individual Firesticks. However, when I stream to Xfinity Stream, one TV (The LG) operates all the XFINITY Stream Channels with closed Captioning. That is the only APP that shows closed captioning on that TV. Even went to the LG control and insured that closed captioning was off.

Seems like a long telephone to Xfinity to resolve.

Just wondering if one of our senior experts has a simple solution?
Success. I found the solution to my closed caption problem. Even though I have many APPS , only Live TV programs on Xfinity Stream were displaying closed caption.

In my attempt to delete the Xfinity Stream APP in order to reinstall, I was directed to go to the LG Remote. As I passed through various options I came across a closed Caption check off page which showed CC on. Turned it off and went back to Xfinity Stream and my problem is gone.

Thanks for all suggestions.
