I have pushed an enhancement to MythTV fixes/0.28 and pre-release 29 for
the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.

The OSD (On Screen Display) now supports OpenGL, which eliminates
jerkiness in most cases, and improves the resolution of the OSD when
viewing Standard Definition programs. These changes only work on
Raspbian. OpenGL ES is not working on Raspberry Pi Ubuntu.

For details on the OSD, see
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#On_Screen_Display

There is a way to see USA broadcast subtitles. See
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Subtitles

If you are building it yourself, see the build instructions at
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Build_from_Source

To download and install a package see instructions at
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_Light

To enable the OpenGL OSD, select playback profile "OpenMax High Quality".
