Why VITC must me on line 21?

[Chad Brewer]

Line 21 is the line allocated for closed captioning, not 23.

VITC is usually allocated to either lines 14&16 or 16&18.

[Chad Brewer] “Line 21 is the line allocated for closed captioning, not 23.”

Really? Not where I come from – VITC is line 21 (PAL)

Right.
Usually 19&21 for PAL VITC.

Misjudged that the original poster wasn’t on our “American” system.
It’s hard to tell when people don’t explain whether they are on an NTSC or a PAL based plant, regardless of their geographic location. He assumed, I assumed. Oops.

Here’s another assumption: I hope you’re rooting for Cadel Evans this year, but perhaps that’s for another forum.

strictly speaking VITC is on both fields so lines 19 & 21 AND lines 332 & 334 (in PAL).
