CC is teletext for hearing impaired. Not that I'm hearing impaired,

appropriately enough.
As for closed captioning - if you can explain what it is and how to
test it, I
could try it out for you
I would be interested to know if CC were available for mpeg2 streams
recorded with the HD3000 card as well I do know that when watching
shows via my Samsung HDTV tuner from OTA sources I can see CC text
when it is available. In other words, I know for sure that CC text is
transmitted in the HDTV OTA signal. Not all programs are closed
captioned. The best bet are main stream shows like Late Night or
popular dramas (ER, Lost, House, etc)
Xine, mplayer, and the internal MythTV video player all decode CC
data. As Leo said, for the internal MythTV player the option is 'c'
to enable or disable it. For mplayer the option is "-subcc" and for
xine there config file option is "subtitles.closedcaption.enabled".
I am hearing impaired and addicted to movies :) For me MythTV is one
component in the home theater I set up last year and I plan to add
the ability to record HDTV shows via a HD3000 adapter soon. For now,
MythTV mainly serves as a front end for DVD playback where I let xine
handled the CC decoding. The main reasons for using a HTPC to handle
DVD playback are to improve picture quality (very noticeable
improvement) and handle CC decoding since projectors do not decode CC
data.
For the curious, photos of my small HT are at http://donpoo.net/

Well the 'c' key seems to have no effect on any channels showing this
early morning, but it's mostly kids shows and foreign language stuff.
I will try again tonight during the normal programming.
