Closed Captions with PVR-500 by running Win MCE?

[Snarky]

I'm currently looking at components for a DVR solution, and I want to use GB-PVR. I'm thinking of using a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 tuner card because I want dual tuners. However, I also need closed caption (CC) support.

I've read that the PVR-150/500 chipset has CC support, but that the drivers for Windows XP don't support it. However, the Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) drivers apparently do. I've also read threads on this forum that say I can run GB-PVR on Windows MCE.

So my question is this: If I get a PVR-500 tuner card, Windows MCE, and GB-PVR, will I be able to get closed captions?

Any help, even if it's only an informed guess, would be appreciated.

If you run MCE with the MCE software, you can get CC's.
If you run GBPVR on MCE (disabling the MCE services) then you will not.
The same applies to the PVR-150.
There are rumors that CC's will be available on the PVR-150/500 in an upcomming driver version, but I have no idea how reliable those rumor's are.

Aw, damn.

Well, thanks for letting me know.
