You should be able to configure how long the stb osd is displayed.  I never
see it on MythTV anymore, though I used to in an earlier version.  I use a
serial cable for changing channels, might be different if you are using an
ir blaster.

Some people are assuming you have HD, but a digital box isn't necessarily a
HD box.
