[mythtv-users] Mythtvosd help

[Larry Matter]

Learn something new everyday.  I didn't even know about that command.

Anyway, it works for me too (mythtv 0.14).  Only trick I saw was that you
have to be watching LiveTV (or a recording) for it to work.  And it fades
quickly (3-4 secs) so you have to be ready to see it.
