FFFDShow dvbnacc-v0.8-d3xt3rs-lab.exe is not working for ATSC CC, gives the "closed captions looked terrible: junk, missing characters" you discribe. But for Satellite it is perfect.
Used CCCP to test CC in graphedit, but CCextracter is easier now.
Line 21 decoder 2 only works with Intervideo video decoder (and Cyberlink video decoder), it does not work with FFDShow. I can not advise you how to get Line 21 decoder 2 to be used in Mediaportal. Try building a Intervideo and line 21 decoder 2 graph in graphedit, then you will see how well the CC works.
