 An early release of a short program I've written to decode DVB teletext
pages is available at: 
</p>

</p>

<p>
 When you run it, it spools all the teletext pages as "vtx" files
into a directory.  You can then use an external program to view the pages -
there are links to a couple of such programs, including a Java applet on the
above page.
</p>

<p>
Instructions for it's use are in the README file included in the 
(source-only) distribution.  I've also included my channels.conf for Astra 19 
which includes the Teletext PIDS for some of the channels.  This is useful 
with Klaus's latest (unofficial) release of VDR - currently 0.71pre2.
</p>

<p>
The interesting features are that it can simultaneously record multiple 
teletext streams into different directories (currently up to 8 - a safety 
limit imposed by Ralph) and that it can also access the teletext pages of 
some (but not all) encrypted channels.   This shows that some encrypted 
channels leave their teletext streams in the clear.

Thanks Dave!</p>
