Hear, hear @iguanamon. That probably explains the poor quality of the Youtube closed captions. Whereas the
regular Telemundo closed captions are excellent. There may be some technical reason why the original captions are
not available in Youtube.

You can watch any current Telemundo program on the network's own website, and I'm
pretty sure you can turn on CC. If so, I imagine it would be the same CC's as for TV.

I actually notice a lot of differences between what I hear on Telemundo and what the
CC's show. I'd say they're about 95% accurate. The inaccuracies don't affect meaning
and sometimes seem to be an attempt to correct grammar.... a lot of little things like
"habĂ­a ido" vs. "fue".... but these are things that would be confusing for a beginner
trying to use this method strictly as it's described. But the CC's are always readable
and don't leave out important chunks of dialogue. Univision's CC's, on the other hand,
reproduce the dialogue absolutely word-for-word, except on the frequent occasions when
they go on the fritz and start showing virtual gibberish or skipping large chunks of
what is spoken.

Thanks a lot to @Gala. The subs on the Telemundo site are great. I can't say anything about the Unnivision site
because I can't access it from Canada.
