Necessary information

Is this a regression (i.e. did it work before)? Don't know. First time I tried
What platform did you use? Linux - Ubuntu
What were the used arguments? -startat 06:00 UK_ITV3.ts -o ITV.srt
(Did both with and without -ve)

Video links{replace with the arguments}

(This is the UK_ITV3.ts file from your shared video files in 2017-01-09 UK Samples - I picked this at random. The problem also occurs with other files)

Additional information

When extracting dvbsub subtitles from the input file it always renders the exact same result, no matter what startat/endat times I use, Exactly the same as without startat/endat times.
The output log does show this:
[Extraction start time: 00:06:00]
[Extraction end time: not set (to end)]
so the start time is actually recognized, but the subtitles seem to start at the very first encountered.

The output file always starts with this subtitle timestamp:
00:05:28,949 --> 00:05:32,708

All the output files are exactly the same, no matter what startat value I use.

Thank you for looking at this.
