On many of its latest receiver models, DirecTV now offers its own subtitles, in place of the standard closed captioning text. These subtitles are designed to be slightly easier to read and, according to DirecTV, be more visually appealing than standard closed captioning. If you have the subtitles turned on but no longer need them, you can go through the standard DirecTV menu to disable them.
