...teletext subtitles are a thing from the past, the normal way of broadcasting subtitles should be DVB subtitles. I hardly think a DVD player would be able to handle teletext subtitles (or am I wrong here?).
While I agree that dvb subtitles are usually better than teletext subtitles, there are cases when it isn't so. For example, itv3 (shoot me, but I like Poirot) broadcasts both teletext and dvb subtitles, but the dvb subtitles are ~6 seconds early, so they're unusable.
Have you ever inquired why they don't fix this?
No, I'm using teletex subtitles instead ;-) I'm not supposed to be receiving uk channels (in theory the beam is focused on the uk), so I cannot really complain. Besides, I'm not knowledgeable enough to be sure it's their problem or vdr problem (after all, if it didn't work with the freeview set-top boxes, they'd surely fix it, wouldn't they?) OTOH I never had problems with dvb subtitles on the bbc channels (other than vdr not recognizing they're there in recordings, while they automatically show in live view).
