Note that over satellite, pretty much the only DVB teletext is subtitles on page 888 for the large channels (BBC, ITV, C4, etc), and only Five has regular teletext pages otherwise. Check out `redbutton-download' and `redbutton-browser' for an application that can display MHEG pages, as sent out by at least the Beeb last time I looked, shortly before the official launch of Freesat, which was written for DVB-T, but also works for select Freesat DVB-S. > Any help apreciated (I am in the UK) Probably the above is what you need. For regular DVB teletext, like Five via Freesat, I use `dvbstream' on the teletext PIDs from a particular transponder, piped to a hacked version of `jpvtx' that writes the individual pages. For viewing, there's an X-aware `xvtx-p', or I've a heavily hacked `vtx-to-utf8' from the `jpvtx' package (originally not UTF8 but to 8859-15 with added support for colours, non-ASCII characters, and limited graphics) hope this is helpful barry bouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
