I think you meant monitor, not TV?
I watch most of my Live TV and recordings using a monitor, except when remote and use the iOS app.
Thank you once again chDVRuser for seeming to 'read the room' correctly in my case.
It sounds like there shouldn't be a problem with most standard television broadcasting having the potential for closed captions, so my DVR recordings ought to be able to show them. I guess I'm just going to have to figure out whatever I'm overlooking. Probably something stupid!
(For what it's worth, if anyone cares, I'm an old fart Boomer, and have no desire for any 'smart' devices whatsoever. Those of you who have no problem with a live microphone in the middle of your living room 24 hours a day that could theoretically broadcast to anywhere in the world are fine by me, but please don't try to get me to jump on that bandwagon. I don't even like hearing the word 'Android', because I dislike telephones in general, and only use my completely 'app-less' one to occasionally make a phone call or get a voicemail. My computer is hard-wired to my internet provider and has no camera or wifi, since I just don't have any need for this sort of stuff.)
Sorry to be boring, but I just felt a need to come clean!

If you install the channels app on your phone you will have solved your problem as things will work as they are designed
Like the OP, I prefer to watch on a larger screen (a Monitor) and only use my iPhone/iPad when remote.
I sometimes use an HDMI adapter output from my iPad to the TV HDMI input when in hotels.
