Rudy,

What I meant was that the STB would decode the subtitles and "paste" the 
subtitles on the image and the PVR-350 would process the subtitled 
picture - it wouldn't notice the subtitles and do nothing with it, but I 
would see it.  Works fine with my VCR which can't record subtitles - but 
records the digital subtitled video fine.

Thanks for the info tho :)
