Yes, you heard right (no pun intended) it's a volume question. Oh and a "captioned for the blind" question. On my TV certain shows (on various channels) have volume problems. For example The Talking Dead (which follows the Walking Dead) on AMC has a very low volume - you have to crank it up just to hear it, but every couple of minutes the volume suddenly shoots up, blasting you out of your socks, then goes back down. The Walking Dead (which precedes it) has a normally functioning volume. Both shows are on the same channel, AMC. The Science Channel has no volume at all, ever. This started about a week ago. Random shows (for example Christmas Light Fights) on ABC has "captioning for the blind" meaning a voice narrates what is happening "Santa is waving from a jeep while kids gather around" and so forth because blind people can hear the dialogue but not see of course. Seinfeld on TBS has the same blind captioning thing going on. Other TBS shows are normal. I have never messed with any of the programming or settings to enable these features or fluctuating/nonexistent volume issues. Any thoughts?
I don't know about the volume, but the other thing sounds like you or somebody else accidentally changed a setting -- maybe by something as random as hitting the wrong button or mashing the remote in the couch cushion. It's called video description, so if you google that phrase along with the name of your cable company you can probably find how to turn it on and off...
This would be the new "Trump supporter" firmware, which detects the voting habits of households and controls the channels you get based on your likely viewing choices. By default, Trump supports don't get The Science Channel since they don't believe in it.
Trump played me like a fiddle! Now I know why he spends time with "Rocket Man" Kim. He's been getting ideas for when he takes control of all TV broadcasting! Next thing you know I'll turn it on and see: TRUMPS ANATOMY SAVED BY THE OPENING BELL HOW I BOUGHT YOUR MOTHER GALL IN THE FAMILY THE WEST WING WITH FRIES WTRP IN CINCINNATI
I get this with a lot of shows/movies. The dialogue scenes are barely above whisper level, then an action scene kicks in and they try to blast you out of your chair.
like I said before - if anything weird happens with any technology it will always happen to me. I wish I had a dime for every store clerk who said "the register has been fine up until just now" the minute I get near it.
