[mythtv-users] DirecTV OSD

[Boyd II, Willy]

Yes, the Directv OSD still shows.  There was a script posted here recently,
which is basically the channel change script you're probably already using,
with this added after the channel change happens:

system("sleep 1");
clear_osd();

sub clear_osd {
  printf("Clearing OSD") if ($verbose);
  simple_command("0x45","0x00","0x00","0xf9");
}

I've tried experimenting with making that sleep call shorter... Can't really
make it any shorter than 0.25 seconds or the channel change will fail
altogether.  But even then, the OSD can still be seen most of the time, it's
goes away much earlier than the myth OSD, which is nice.

Does anyone know if the OSD from directv still shows up when you are 
controlling the satellite receiver via home control?  If not, does 
anyone know of a receiver doesnt have one or has an option to disable 
the OSD?  I thought maybe it would be possible to send a clear command 
immediately following all of the channel change commands, but this might 
still get a little annoying with the OSD flickering on and off. 

Thanks
