[MPlayer-dev-eng] Very strange TV behaviour...

mplayer grabs video while xavtv only setups teh card for overlay
try grabbing to file with xavtv and try teletext then
probably the bus is busy with video grab/capture so no bw left for teletext
anyway it's very offtopic here.
and do not crosspost. never ever. never!!
