CC with TV Digital to Analog Converter/Recorder

Mar 24, 2016 5:15AM PDT

I have a Homeworx HW180STB digital to analog converter/recorder with which I can watch digital over-the-air channels on my old analog TV and record them for later playback on an external USB disk. Closed captions display on live TV, but not on the recorded programs. The Homeworx forum verifies that this is just how it works.

Is there a different brand of digital to analog converter/recorder that will allow the display of closed captions on recorded content?
