VBI = Vertical Blanking Interval services: Teletext, Closed Caption,
etc.

Yes that would be the pvrusb2 driver.
$ grep \.description v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/video/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-devattr.c
.description = "WinTV PVR USB2 Model Category 29xxx",
.description = "WinTV PVR USB2 Model Category 24xxx",
.description = "Gotview USB 2.0 DVD 2",
.description = "Gotview USB 2.0 DVD Deluxe",
.description = "OnAir Creator Hybrid USB tuner",
.description = "OnAir USB2 Hybrid USB tuner",
.description = "WinTV HVR-1900 Model Category 73xxx",
.description = "WinTV HVR-1950 Model Category 750xx",
.description = "WinTV HVR-1950 Model Category 751xx",
Caveat emptor, I have no experience with this driver. Check the driver
source code for more details to ensure a product is supported to your
usage needs, before you spend $.
You could also ask on the linux-dvb or video4linux lists about the
pvrusb2 driver or your original question.
