Alas, it's still a big problem, even the tv out is good, even the cam is 
working (only with dvr): there is no vdr teletext subtitles support for 
canal+ and canalsatellite set of channels.
And it's a shame !

Thanks very mutch to everyone for the work he's done, of course !! ;-)

But beg for a real cam support without necesseraly using vdr.
That will give the choice to use other programs (mplayer for example), 
depending of the task to do. Then it'll have a sense to make a dvb 
subtitles support on mplayer.
