Hi, I recently noticed that subtitle decoding on BBC stations for live broadcasts such as football or the news is not working very well.

The subtitles, are barely readable. The words are often displayed separately and are erased before the entire sentence is drawn. It looks the same with vdr-1.6.0 and vdr-1.7.11.

Could this be a bug in the SPU decoder?

I assume this is a special mode of broadcasting subtitles, where the text transmitted as it is typed in.

I tried to figure out how to fix/implement this, but I'm afraid my knowledge of how this whole subtitle stuff works is too limited.

Maybe somebody with more knowledge of this can provide a fix.
