I am working on teletex, that is a teletext on you computer screen.

Ralph says that the firmware needs modification to get VBI inserted teletext.
If we have that, we need to do nothing special to VDR I think, cause then
you can use the normals sets teletext.

Anyways, I will try to get the PC part working.
Have a look at http:/www.panteltje.demon.nl/xkrs/ for what I will use
as display.
This is directly coded in xlib, no gtk or such.
Maybe some will like something different, but this will be my first aim.
Sincerely hope I will have the time to do this, have also nnn other GPL
programs out there that I do updates and support for.

So if anyone else wants to have a go too, fine with me, let me know when
you got data from that PES stream :-)
