...teletext subtitles are a thing from the past, the normal way of broadcasting subtitles should be DVB subtitles. I hardly think a DVD player would be able to handle teletext subtitles (or am I wrong here?).
While I agree that dvb subtitles are usually better than teletext subtitles, there are cases when it isn't so. For example, itv3 (shoot me, but I like Poirot) broadcasts both teletext and dvb subtitles, but the dvb subtitles are ~6 seconds early, so they're unusable.
Have you ever inquired why they don't fix this?
No, I'm using teletex subtitles instead ;-) I'm not supposed to be receiving uk channels (in theory the beam is focused on the uk), so I cannot really complain. Besides, I'm not knowledgeable enough to be sure it's their problem or vdr problem (after all, if it didn't work with the freeview set-top boxes, they'd surely fix it, wouldn't they?) OTOH I never had problems with dvb subtitles on the bbc channels (other than vdr not recognizing they're there in recordings, while they automatically show in live view).
Please send me the channels.conf line of itv3 - I'd like to take a look at this myself.
