 Hi,

 Thanks to a loaner PVR-350 from Hans, I've been able to implement VBI
 support in the cx18 driver for non-NTSC video standards.

 If you've got a 625 line PAL, SECAM, etc, video source and can test VBI
 functions on a CX23418 based card, I'd like to hear how it works.  The
 patches for testing are here:

 http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/cx18-av-core
 http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/cx18-av-core/archive/tip.tar.bz2

 I've only been able to test with PAL with VPS in field 1 line 16 and WSS
 in field 1 line 23.  I wasn't able to figure out how to get Teletext B
 out of the PVR-350, so I'd certainly like to hear if Teletext is
 working.

You can't get teletext out of the PVR-350. Only WSS and VPS. It's a hardware 
limitation.

I don't have access to my HVR1600 this week, I'll see if I can test it next 
Sunday.

Regards,

Hans

 Note: to implement Raw VBI for 625 line/50 Hz systems to extract line 23
 (WSS), I had to blank one extra line in each field.  This means that
 625/50 systems will be missing 1 line from the top of each field (e.g.
 line 24 won't show).  I thought that was better than having the fields
 move up or down around if the user turned VBI on or off.

 Regards,
 Andy
