[mythtv-users] OSD slow with hardware decoding?

[Joel Feenstra]

Fading can be turned off with the osd theme file. Attached is a simple 
osd that might be better with hardware decorders (not that I have one :( 
). It's not the prettiest, but it is functional.

I wrote this a while ago, but I don't think anything has changed to 
break it.
