I have been hoping to use this technique for a while:<br>

I recently upgraded my system to use a 3.6.7 kernel, but it appears my hardware/driver combination does not support VBI. I've tried my HVR-1250, HVR-2250, and HVR-950Q. I do not any any spare PCI slots to use a PVR-500 or PVR-150.<br>
<br>
Has anyone on the list been able to get this to work with aa HVR-1250, HVR-2250, or HVR-950Q?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have not had the time to prefect it, but yes, I have it generally working with a HVR-2250. The trick is to use zvbi2raw with ccextractor:</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>I will attach the scripts I am using to make it work. I use udev rules such that my hvr-2250 gets mapped something like:</div><div><br></div><div>/dev/hvr2250_1 -> video3<br></div><div>/dev/hvr2250_2 -> video2<br>
</div><div><div>/dev/hvr2250_vbi_1 -> vbi1</div></div><div>/dev/hvr2250_vbi_2 -> vbi0<br></div><div><br></div><div>The attached scripts assume that the first HD-PVR will use /dev/hvr2250_vbi_1 and the second will use /dev/hvr2250_vbi_2.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One issue that I have not had time to solve, is 'special' characters, like music symbols. They just show up as a '?'. So, your task is to solve that part of the equation ;-)</div><div>
