The reality is that for NTSC there is no standard. There is an NTSC
variant of WSS discussed in the WSS specification, as well as a way of
representing the info in EIA-608. As far as I have been able to
gather though, neither have actually ever been used in production. If
someone wants to offer some evidence to the contrary, I would be happy
to add the support to tvtime and test it with some of my tuner boards
(and fix any bugs that in the driver I find).

For what it's worth, this has actually been done for the cx18 (but not
for ivtv). I just need to do the final PULL request to get it into
the mainline v4l-dvb.
Cheers,
