[mythtv] Re: [patch] enable vbi recording

[Joaquín Lago Pérez]

Hi.
I do need to record teletext subtitles, if I want to let my wife 
understand anything on recorded TV programs - she does not hear very 
well - Therefore, I would like to ask you what is needed to do in order 
to implement a teletext plugin or something like that, for Mythtv. 
Subtitles on most part ot European countries -like Spain - are shown on 
page 888 of teletext, so they must be shown superposed to the playback.

If your patch does record the teletext data (all pages??), the first 
step is already done. Now, in order to show teletext in screen, which 
options are possible?
I can reserve for it some of my time, but if anybody can help on 
starting - showing text on screen, synch issues, etc. - he/she will be 
welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Joaquin.
