[mythtv-users] Taking the plunge - General questions about setupand PVR250

[Joseph A. Caputo]

But how are the overlays formatted?  Can you just set your X display to the
decoder board and have that work, or do you need to format each screen as a
static image?  If the former, no problem; if the latter, this raises the
same issues as pure MPEG; namely, how to take an interactive X (Qt)
interface and convert it to static images.  I don't know anything about
decoders w/overlay, so maybe it's simpler than that, though.
