[ivtv-users] Captions on TV but not PVR-150

I am switching from DirecTV to DISH and started integrating the
receiver into my MythTV setup.  I have the VIP211 STB, and I use its
s-video output into the PVR-150.  (Eventually I'll use the component
output into an HD-PVR.)

Strangely, I'm getting no closed captions in MythTV, but if I connect
the STB analog output directly to the TV (Vizio VW32L), the captions
display properly.  I have disabled the STB's rendering of captions.
PVR-150 captions were just fine from the DirecTV STB.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong, or how to diagnose the
problem?  For now I'm just letting the STB render the captions, so
they get "burned in" to the recording.
