AFAIK, Myth cannot decode the VBI data from the PVR-250.

HOWEVER, you say you are using a PVR-350.. for output?

If so, you can have it pass the embedded VBI back out to the TV, where
its CC decoder can display it.

To have the ivtv drivers embed cc data into the MPEG stream, do:

ivtvctl -b cc -x 1

.. and to have it passed output by PVR-350 upon decoding, do:

ivtvctl -w cc

You'll probably want to add these to a startup script (like
/etc/rc.d/rc.local) so because the PVR-350 doesn't remember settings
when power is lost/restarted.

Be forewarned that as of the last time I tried it, (0.2.0-something)
it didn't totally work yet, and the CC data was scrambled.  I am told
that the latest 0.3.0 drivers are working for CC, but I haven't had a
chance to verify this.

I would appreciate it if you could post back with a report on whether
or not (or how well) it works.  I'm much interested in having working
CC myself..

Thanks,
