It is the set top (in this case, Apple TV) that is responsible for decoding and displaying the caption before sending the video over HDMI (and also DVI, component). Steve Jobs (Apple CEO) has said that the next OS X release (OS X 10.5 Leopard) is supposed to have 608-closed caption support (this is old style caption). I can only assume they have plans to do captioning in the near future when Leopard is released this October. I also have EyeTV 500 (discounted), which works great iwth closed captioning on HDTV channels from ATSC or QAM(cable). bob HDMI has no effect on closed caption.
