Hi,

I saw in the release notes that closed captioning is now supported in
the PVR-250.

How do you get this working?

I checked myth setup, I am set on NTSC for closed captions.  The setup
for the individual cards does not have an option for a VBI device.

When I hit "T" during playback or live tv I see "CC1"/"CC off" toggle on
the screen, but nothing other than that happens.

ivtvctl -XB indicates that vbi IS embedded in the mpeg stream.

livingroom ~ # ivtvctl -XB -d /dev/video0
ioctl: IVTV_IOC_G_VBI_MODE
vbi service set = 00000004
ioctl: IVTV_IOC_G_VBI_EMBED
vbi embedded in MPEG stream: on

I also tried setting vbi mode to raw and setting passthrough vbi to cc
(ivtvctl -w cc), neither of which made a difference.
