So some combination of the PVR-150 and ivtv must be manipulating the image to create this bar. I would prefer it to leave the image alone *and* decode the cc information, so that it fits into my existing method of dealing with overscan.</div></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>Then I'm wrong.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
