Thank you very much! (But how do you know since it
doesn't work for you? :-)

Yes, this output is kind of stupid; this means that there is
only one teletext page number given in the Service Information
for this channel, and that is for the Initial Page, page 100.
The plugin looks for subtitle pages to display, they could
(should) be listed there too. Here is output from a Swedish
movie channel with the plugin set to find German subitles,
just to give you an idea:
-------
ttxtsubs: Subtitles for language "deu" not found on channel, available 
languages:
         101: swe (Initial Page)
         199: swe (Subtitles)
         201: nor (Initial Page)
         299: nor (Subtitles)
         501: dan (Initial Page)
         599: dan (Subtitles)
         601: fin (Initial Page)
         699: fin (Subtitles)
         100: eng (Initial Page)
-------

How are ARD's subtitles supposed to be used - should they be
automatically found by a set top box or similar decoder
(as this plugin tries to do), or are you supposed to manually
go to a specific teletext page?
This plugin doesn't handle the latter case, currently at least.
