Hmm, what's wrong with the see-through? I really like it. To me it looks
a lot more stylish than the small video in the corner. I did change the
epg xml file to match the full screen epg to get rid of the black
"loading preview" field. 

BTW, I don't think the Epia is up to the task of decoding, downscaling
and fb-overlay

Please make it a configurable option.
