Carl,
Can you provide any suggestions on how to get VBI data under ivtv  
0.7.0 with a PVR-500?  I'm running 0.7.0 but haven't been able to grab  
captioning data.  I've been up and down the mythtv-dev and ivtv-dev  
lists on gossamer and there's little information there.

When I try to activate the cc passthrough I get

$ ivtvctl -w cc -d /dev/video0
ioctl IVTV_IOC_S_VBI_PASSTHROUGH failed: Invalid argument


Anything you can provide would be helpful,

Mark
