If you are using the built-in MPEG decoder on the PVR-350 for video out 
(i.e. you have the "Use the PVR-350s MPEG decoder" box checked under 
Setup) then you need to use your TVs teletext decoder, not the one in 
Myth. If you're using xv instead (i.e. the box is not checked) then you 
can use the one in Myth. And you may need to turn on cc/teletext 
embedding in your ivtv driver when you load it, I'm not sure the extent 
to which Myth handles that itself.
