Er, now you've got me thinking. You could well be right. I ended up
(re)configuring an inserter a couple of months ago and the old grey matter
came up with those numbers, but it doesn't work as well as it used to.
Anyway, the principle is the same and you can record it on to Beta SP.

Yeah, I know, but that should never get to the transmitter.... which sort
of implies those lines get masked somewhere, which makes it unlikely to
be the same lines as the subtitle data.
OK, you win, but I'll check on Tuesday all the same :-)
