you are right, i checked with analog sat and a tv card, it is teletext,
and by searching around i found that most "state" tv stations seem to have 
the problem, since they all seem to use the same type of equipment which 
just encodes the analog picture broadcasted in real-time with fixed settings,
even 16/9 detection is passive, i.e. relies on vbi inserts to detect the 
change, sometimes it even fails (i had that once on RBB, they switched to 
16/9 after some 25 minutes).
at least german ARD knows this problem, but refuses to accept it as a 
"problem" and of course wont change anything here.
