You mentioned ivtv so I assume you have PVR 250/350 card. I read, 
somewhere, during my MythTV research that CC wasn't yet supported by 
the ivtv driver on these cards. I love the idea of getting a PVR 250 or 
350 but until CC decoding works I won't be able to use it.

Can anyone with a PVR 250/350 and the current ivtv confirm this?
