A couple of questions/complaints about CC with FIOS
1. The fonts are absolutely horrible. All other providers have standard fonts, I have tried all combinations and they are all terrible.
2. There is no CC button on the FIOS remote! In order to turn on CC I have to go through about 5 steps within the System menu to turn them on.
Solved! Go to Correct Answer
My understanding is that you can use voice control to turn on CC.
Or you can turn it off and on via the menu under settings.
Or if you happen to have an older remote, you can use that to control new STB.
The star button below the 7 is the CC button.
The button below the 7 key is "info" There is no star key
You remote doesn't look like this one?
No. that is the old remote. The new one has voice activation, and no CC key.

Oh sorry. Those boxes are so new I forgot about them. I wonder if the voice control can turn on the closed captioning. Give that a try.
Yes the voice remote works to turn closed captions on and off. Many thanks and kudos!

Yes I also did figure out you can use voice. This said, the captions are still horrible. And you should also be able to turn them on/off with a button.
Why is this marked as a solution when it doesn't answer the user's question? Could a moderator please remove the "go to solution" color change and link as this doesn't answer either of the questions the OP asked.
Also, no offense, but it would be nice to hear from an actual FiOS employee do they ever answer any of these questions on these forums?

Want an answer from an actual Fios employee? Go here and post your questions.
Agree
First and most important question is not solved. Fonts are dated and horrible.
Hello...just did the upgrade STB with voice activated remote...the closed caption is horrible...tried many changes...did you get this fixed?
I agree. Terrible fonts. When I upgraded to Fios1 I expected upgraded fonts like on Apple TV
This is not solved. Your fonts are dated and the worse of the entire cable market. Solve it for real!
