Correct, CC does not work with the cx25840-based cards such as the
PVR150/500. VBI capturing works for PAL, but I didn't manage to get it
to work for NTSC. I do have contact with a someone else who is trying
to implement it. He lives in NTSC country, so testing is easier for him
then it is for me. Fingers crossed.
CC capturing does work for saa7115 based cards, such as the PVR250/350.
No problems there.
It's just the NTSC/cx25840 combination that fails.
