Teletext (was: [mythtv] MythTV Recording System Future)

[Erik Arendse]

Hi everybody,

I'm that guy that dropped out of teletext development 6-7 months ago...

If somebody want some explaining of code just email me privately 
(erik_nospam.arendse at bigfoot.com) , but I'm not using mythTV myself anymore.

When I quit developing for myth the teletext support could do exactly that. 
Seems I left in some bufferoverflow but that was the state development was 
in when I quit.

You don't have to. ALL subtitle pages are stores in the stream, just pick 
the page you want during play. For BBC this means it all works by itself as 
they only have one subtitle 'stream' per channel.
