Thank you Mark! To deactivate VBI do I only need to set the VBI format to "none"?

There seems to be a small rendering problem on my PC and for some reason I don't see 
all the options in the setup screens so it could be some place else but I haven't 
seen it (even though I checked all the setup screens in mythtv-setup... I didn't use 
the frontend much but I should start using it more soon so I'll have to figure out 
why that's happenning...
