 Priority:  minor               |   Milestone:         
Component:  mythtv              |     Version:         
 Severity:  medium              |  
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Since the eia-708 closed captioning code was added, mythfrontend dies with
 mythfrontend: cc708decoder.cpp:473: void append_cc(CC708Reader*, uint,
 const unsigned char*, int): Assertion `block_size +
 cc->buf_size[service_num] < cc->buf_alloc[service_num]' failed.

 This did not occur prior to 9140 (since the 708 code didn't exist yet).  I
 don't ever use close captioning, but this assert fails whether it's on or
 not.  The error occurs repeatably in at least one spot in a recording that
 I had previously been able to watch start to finish.

 I get over-the-air broadcast, and my signal was not perfect.  After this
 happened I watched with captions turned on and saw that the caption data
 had some noise (extra / bad characters) in it.
