RE: TiVo OSD

[Kevin Hawkins]

There was a thread a long time ago on the Tivo Underground list
about hacking the overlays and graphics - I never followed it to its
conclusion except that I know it seemed very difficult and that most seemed
to be imaged to some form of Targa file - and then displayed - wasn't going
to provide an easy route for realtime fancy text (font/colour/size/opacity)
usage. Have a search - a long way back - 2 years or so - on the bbs - I am
sure by now this will have come on a long way. It would be a great feature
to have !
I guess you are not using the VCR out when you recorded this ? I
believe that the text overlays & Tivo graphics are not present on
this
output - to protect against exactly the issue you experienced.
