I'm uncertain what is the status of closed captioning with a PVR-250
in MythTV.  I know this question has been asked many times before, but
there's been a new versions of both MythTV and the IVTV drivers, and
I'm wondering if things have changed...

I remember there was a patch for the IVTV driver what enabled to it to
embed VBI/CC data into the MPEG2 file, but then I read that MythTV
(0.16 at the time, I think) didn't support reading it.  Presumably,
this patch has been incorporated into the IVTV-0.2 series of drivers,
but did MythTV under go any kind of revision in 0.17 to read the
embedded VBI data?

Or maybe I'm totally incorrect in my interpretation of various
mailing-list messages...

Anyway, is anyone successfully getting closed captions on a PVR-250
right now in MythTV?
