The info.vdr file contains

X 3 11 fin
X 2 03 fin
X 3 03 dut

which indicates that audio is in Finnish, and there are two subtitle
tracks. The one with type 03 looks like any other subtitle
track I've seen so far, like

X 3 03 rus
X 3 03 dan
X 3 03 ger

in a "La Crim" broadcast on French tv. According to the specs this is
"VBI data".

The one with type 11 is "DVB subtitles (normal) for display on 4:3 aspect ratio monitor".

None of these two is specified as "for the hard of hearing".
