Hi all,

Thanks to the efforts of Christopher Neufeld and some final tweaks last 
weekend by me it is now possible to capture closed captions with the 
cx25840-based cards like the PVR150/500.

I would appreciate it if people could test this for me. It is currently 
only available in the ivtv-0.4.6 development snapshot from subversion. 
You can download it here:

I believe the latest MythTV should support it out of the box.

Note 1: CC capturing (or to be precise: sliced VBI capturing) has always 
worked for the PVR250/350 (saa7115-based cards) and for PAL on the 
cx25840-based cards. Just NTSC for the cx25840 never worked, until now.

Note 2: it is unlikely to be supported with ivtv-0.6 and ivtv-0.7 
(released when the 2.6.17 kernel is released) because they rely on the 
cx25840 module from the kernel and the required patches will only go 
into 2.6.18.

        Hans
