[mythtv-users] OSD settings - *someone* must know this...?

Robert,

Thank you for responding!

Yes, I've looked at that, and changing the font settings there was what 
enabled me to be able to correctly view the OSD information that comes 
on *before* I change the channel.

The fact that the information that displays *after* I change a channel 
is still coming out garbled indicates to me that it's not being stored 
or generated in correct utf-8 format (which is encoding my font requires).

Does anyone know where this signal strength information is stored or 
generated? Can I adjust its encoding?

In any case, I really don't need or want signal strength information. 
I'd much prefer to see the same
programme guide information that I see *before * change channel anyway. 
(I must admit I'm a little puzzled that signal strength information was 
ever considered important enough to make this the default behaviour. 
I've never needed to know signal strength when watching a television 
program...)

Does anyone know if there is a way to enforce the programme guide info 
to display both before and after changing channels?
