In my opinion DVB-S2/H.264 are "nice to have" extra features, but working DVB subtitling support is a "must have" feature for PVR software like VDR, because almost everyone needs DVB subtitles around here, but not that many watch HDTV channels yet.
But the DVB subtitling is working, isn't it? At least i have not had any problems with the incorporated solution for a long time. But I still feel that the subtitling as such is not ready, because the functionality of ttxtsubs plugin is not yet in the core. Most of the subscription channels that I have/have had use only ttxtsubs (e.g. Canal+) and therefore I am forced to still patch the core VDR to get ttxtsubs working. In an ideal state no patches would be required :)
On the other hand.. h.264 is AFAIK coming popular with SDTV in DVB-T also (Estonia, Norway, Slovenia) and therefore I feel that it should be prioritized over any new subtitling solutions and once there is support for h.264, a new stable release should be made.
