| 434033 | 2007-05-04 04:29:00 | The trouble with what you suggest Godfather is that the teletext subtitles aren't recorded by a bog standard VCR nor a harddrive DVD recorder. In both cases the signals are stripped to allow room for the other data. In Ian's case with most others the TV has the Teletext decoder and if it's not getting the signal then there is nothing to decode. The only way(s) do do it are using a SVHS VCR recorder, rare as hens teeth these days although JVC still put a model I think. Still the titles are not shown on the tape but must be decoded by the tv when played back, therefore the playback VCR must also be SVHS or compatible. The way I have done mine is acquiring a NEC Teletext decoder set to page 801, hooked into a Hi Fi VHS VCR that is merely used to pick the channel for decoding, video and audio feed then fired thru the decoder and the output going into the DVD recorder on an AV input. This results in a stereo clip with subtitles that do not have to be played back thru a Teletext capable tv. The results from this method are also superior to the SVHS recorder that I bought last year also before I worked out to find a decoder and then I could buy the DVD recorder I really wanted to Get in the 1st place. The SHVS is very reliant on the quality of the VHS tape used. SVHS tapes are expensive and can't be found for looking anyway. The JVC method allows a standard tape to be used but I have problems with words dropping out and being incorrectly spelt etc whereas the decoder/dvd option is crisp and clean. Whats really needed are the dvd manufacturers to produce a machine that either records the signal or has an onboard decoder. From my investigations and research I believe there is a strong market amongst the hearing impaired. Hi, I note this thread was done in 2004 and wondered if there has been any updates on new DVD recorders out on the marker with Teletext capabilities. I work in I.T and I am hard of hearing, when the HDD DVD RC came out my first intial thoughts was..ooh..why issnt there any inbuilt teletext on these. I have a NEC inbuilt Teletext VCR and can record subtitles and would love a HHD DVD recorder. |

| 434035 | 2007-07-12 04:41:00 | Here's a thought for someone to try: If your teletext TV has AV outputs on it connect these to an input on a DVD/HDD recorder. Turn the TV on to a program with subtitles and turn them on as well. Whatever the TV is displaying should be output through the AV to the recorder. The question is will the subtitles record as well??? This is not the best solution as you have to have the TV on, on the correct channel with subtitles on. |

| 434036 | 2007-07-12 04:59:00 | There's still no better as yet and my setup is still wired as it was and gets used all the time to record what we can't watch at the time. I do have a spare Teletext decoder and or possibly a quasi SVHS VCR/ DVD player combo if anyone wants to pm me. |
