This used to work a while back. I had written a script that would pull  
all the news from MythWeb and scroll across the OSD when I pressed a  
button on my remote. I think I remember it working in 0.18-0.19. I'm  
hoping someone who knows more about how mythtvosd works will come  
across this message and fix it. :)
