Additional information

Originally attempted to use CCExtractor with MCEBuddy per:
https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/how-to-enable-dvb-and-image-subtitle-extraction/154
and result was a SRT file with random garbled text.

Upon discovering there was a GUI version of CCExtractor, I downloaded, installed it, and dragged the referenced WTV file into it and resulting SRT file has random Garbled Text. That file is available at the link above as well.

I use Two HD HomeRun Prime devices to record all my content on a Windows 7x64 pro desktop.

Let me know if you need any further info.
