It accepts 2 CA modules.

I would like to implement teletext too, have a GUI and driver for a
different chip, unfortunately I get no reply from Ralph Metzler how to
go about adding it (getting the data out).
Klaus will know much better then me if the on screen display could be used
for this, but I think not.
I think this card cannot do VBI teletext re insertion but I could be wrong.
In that case I will have to figure out the teletext chip used (anyone?),
get the data sheet and adapt my driver, the display would then be on the 
PC like in the windows version.
Perhaps I can just access this chip directly (bypassing the driver) via the
iic bus.
Still thinking about this.

Great the more people have a go the better.
I am stuck with a lack of documentation on the card itself.
It seems Ralph (convergence.de) is under some sort of non disclosure
contract with Siemens.
My past experiences with Siemens in a company I worked for are not that
fantastic... and they were the main seller of Siemens PLC's in Holland.
 
I will try to email Technotrend (Siemens is the same card) to see if I can
get some data, but not high hopes for that.
