Closed Captioning for Live Television on Continental
Airlines
December 2011
LiveTV is proud to announce that, for the first time in the history of
inflight entertainment, closed captioning is now available for live
television content onboard an aircraft. This system enhancement is a major
step forward in delivering the excitement of inflight entertainment to those
passengers with hearing disabilities and continues to drive towards LiveTV's
goal of a fully realized "At Home in the Air" experience for each of its
end-users.
The Closed Captioning enhancement will initially be offered to passengers
on all LTV3-equipped Boeing 737NG aircraft operated by Continental Airlines,
a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, thereby putting each customer
in control of the feature while interacting with the 100+ channels of
DIRECTV-provided satellite television available onboard. Continental will be
the first airline in the world to provide this feature to its passengers.
