It looks like you only see it when the current program has DVB 
subtitles.  Some broadcasters may still use teletext subtitles in that 
case you should see something like 'Toggle Teletext Captions' at least 
that's what I see here in the UK with analog broadcasts I assume that 
you will see something similar with DVD-S.
