No, you don't need any extra plugins or patches. You just need to check the
"Enable LCD device" option on the appropriate screen in the Appearance setup
section. Once you've done that, you can enable the displays that interest
you.

As far as what you get, if you're in a menu, it'll show you where you are in
the menus. If you're watching a recording, it'll show you the name of the
show, the episode, and what channel it was recorded from. Same for Live TV,
only you get the channel that you're watching. In MythMusic, you get the
artist, album and track information. It's pretty slick.
