OK for now. Future versions will scan all available subtitle-marked pages 
and let you choose between them.

Is consistant, I have more but not needed for basic functionality.
English BBC is my testchannel (nearly 100% subtitles, all news live 
subtitled so a big heap of testing input :-)

That's the first check.
Did you set the myth setup to pal-teletext?
Did you set the myth setup vbidevice?
Did you set the myth setup vbifont?
Did you run the sql conversion routines to 0.8 to add the vbi columns into 
your database? Verify with mysql/mysqlcc if the setup doesn't 'stick'.

In mythtv the console of the backend should say it opened your vbi device 
when you start live TV.

Can you program or read source? Download AleVT's source and see if new 
Zeeland is any different from England.
Try in myth: debug (or printf) the following places: doVbiThread() You 
could try triggering if a page is detected, or if the _correct_ page is 
detected.

Absolutely not, glad someone takes a peek, but this is myth-dev and not 
myth-users so start debugging ;-)
Keep me posted...
