Rogers’ HD Boxes and HDPVRs provide closed caption decoding for all channels, including those in high-definition. See instructions for how to set up CC here.

How to turn on closed captioning on Digital TV:

If you have a High Definition set-top box: Use the Info and Settings buttons on your Rogers remote to activate closed captioning or to customize its appearance (i.e. font size and on-screen placement).

If you have a Standard Definition set-top box: Closed captioning needs to be turned on via your TV, not your set-top box. This can be done via your TV’s settings menu.

Need to disable your Closed Captioning? See instructions here.

AMI-audio is a broadcast reading service, a network on which volunteers read and record full-text spoken-word versions of current articles from leading newspapers and magazines. The channel makes local, regional, national and international news available to viewers who are blind and vision-restricted, who have learning disabilities or have physical and motor-skill disabilities.

To use AMI-audio, you need to activate the SAP/MTS on your TV. Your remote control should have a button that says MTS or SAP.

You also can tune into the CBC News Network and AMI-audio service will be heard.

If Shaw TV subscribers cannot use voice commands with their Voice Remote, they can input the same commands as text with Web Remote. This includes commands for changing channels, setting your DVR, launching apps and searching for content by actor, title or genre. Web Remote is available via any browser on a computer, tablet or smart phone.
