Description

The "Enable teletext support" option is confusing. Just like in bug 322, it resulted in wasted time for me, and additionally a bunch of recordings that now have no teletext subtitles recorded.

1) The MANUAL hunk of 0002-Added-setup-option-to-enable-teletext-subtitle-recor.patch adds a "Record Teletext Subtitles" entry, but the name of the option is actually "Enable teletext support". I suppose the MANUAL entry is wrong, because this option does not seem to control just recording of ttxtsubs, but also live display of them.

2) Why does the option exist in the first place? We already have an option for turning off display of ttxtsubs in the ttxtsubs plugin setup. Shouldn't one of these be removed?

3) Why is the default for this option off?

I'd prefer if this option (or the similar one in ttxtsubs setup) would be removed. If it cannot be removed, the issue mentioned in 1) should at least be fixed, and my strong opinion is that the default for this option should be on, not off to prevent more people who upgrade from VDR 1.6.0 to waste time on finding out why their ttxtsubs no longer work, and possibly lose ttxtsubs on a bunch of recordings like I did.
