I realisedc that I've asked this before, but I thought reposting in a more detailed form might show results...
I have a plasma TV, with the VGA in connected to a J.S. Technology RGB to VGA. The other end of the RGB is connected to a Tivo box, and this has a Pace DT box attached on Aux. At the moment we record into Tivo from the analogue RF input line. Tivo picks up and retains teletext 888, allowing subtitles to be recorded off analogue TV (these are watched by my wife).
My problem is that plasmas don't have teletext display; nor does Tivo! I therefore need to insert something in the connection chain that will allow me to display 888. I know most plasmas have additional optional tuner boxes incorporating teletext (plus analogue tv, connectors galore etc) but these tend to cost a few hundred quid.
Does anyone know of a device I can put in the chain that will allow me to be this? I'm going to get an AV tuner at some point, so one of these incorporating teletext would be fine.
I know we could record the subtitles off of the Pace Digital box, but that means leaving subtitles permanently on, something I find a tad irritating. I'll do it if there's really no other option, but I'd like to have the choice!
I have vague memories of seeing an advert in a magazine a few months back with an analogue tuner (+ teletext) for £130, but have no details :-( Anyone know of such products?
Thanks,
Ian
