I disagree with the stated problem....  and the response. :)

1. the problem isn't with it showing the current channel (and I think 
when you're clicking up and down that is a useful visual feedback).
The problem is the osd stuttering, and that can and should be adressed.

2. IMHO there's nothing wrong with channel surfing on a myth box.
