So CC is a must here. I've filled in some of the information I know. To answer your question, there isn't really much of anything you can do yet to get working CC in prerecorded and live programming. (get a VCR or DVD recorder0 A bttv based card will pass out a VBI stream that MythTV can decode during Live TV, but it is not (AFAIK) recorded by Myth. CC support does not entirely work in IVTV -- if it did, it would be irrelevant whether or not Myth supports it if you have a PVR-350 because if you set IVTV to include the CC data in the MPEG datastream, and set the decoder part to pass it back out, you can enable CC on your TV and it will come through. However, as I said, it still doesn't quite work and you will just get a scrambled mess. I would say a PVR-350 is your best bet, when (if?) IVTV gets the closed captioning issues sorted out. -- Ian Trider [EMAIL PROTECTED]
