Great info. I'm less familiar with the way that Cable is transmitted, but I do understand that ATSC carries multiple channels per frequency. Are you suggesting that I could capture a single stream from a single tuner which would contain several channels, and pull the CC data for all of those channels from a single stream? Would QAM work similarly? ( Assuming the feed is unencrypted ) I've found that most, if not all, cable boxes do not pass through CC data, because they are meant to interpret it and pass it on with customized formatting and whatnot, so another scaling challenge will be finding a feed that I can use without a cable box. OTA broadcasts have been my testing ground because they are so readily available. a -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
