New to FIOS & want Direct TV back

What's the deal with the closed captions which appear for less than a second on programs that have been recorded?  Direct TV was never a problem and for those of us that are hearing impaired this is a tremendous loss of function with FIOS. 
Is there any way to delete a program while watching it?  Again, Direct TV was so easy to use.  With FIOS, it seems I have to go back to the DVR menu and then relocate the program I was watching which means opening up every recording to see which one is marked "resume" so I know which one to delete.  What a hassle. 
Why can't there be a "first aired" date as Direct TV has?  The only choices seem to be record all shows and then guess which one is new to me or record only first run shows.  I want to be able to see some reruns, but not have to open every one to see if I recognize it.
Thanks for any suggestions. 

1) Closed Captions: I don't understand what you are saying. If I record a program that does have closed captions, I can view them just fine when I play that program. I am not hearing impaired (yet) so I normally have closed captions turned off, but when I hit the CC button (the * on the remote) to cycle through the various options, the captions do appear and remain on the screen and seem to match the dialog. Of course not every program has closed captions, but those that do seem to display just fine for me on my DVR. Which Verizon DVR do you have?
2) Delete a program while watching it: I don't understand your issue here either. While I am watching a recorded program I just hit the Stop button on the remote and I am always given several choices, one of which is Delete. You don't get that?
3) first aired date: you are right, it would be nice. This is just part of the terrible Guide data that Verizon gets, or doesn't get, from their data provider, FYI Television, Inc. Lots of people have been complaining about the inaccurate and incomplete Guide data for a long time, so far no visible progress, but Eric Rabe in his blog here has said that they are looking into the issue.
