There should already be stuff in MythTV to handle "closed captioning" in
Europe by recording the teletext/videotext information from /dev/vbiX, you
should also be able to extract VPS/PDS data from it. Erik Arendse was
working on that about one year ago.

I do like to have that working too, but barely have enough time to setup my
MythTV box (it's more or less working now though). You could take a look at
the source of AleVT, it should be able to grab the teletext info (never got
it working in the 1 hour or so I looked at it).

So keywords are "VBI" and "VPS"/"PDS". If you need any help just ask.
