;o)) The problem with the new drivers is that not all FEs have all
functions implemented ;o( eventhough the hardware delivers the
signal. This is why my routine also changes the size of the OSD
according to what the FE (a la DVB driver code) can actually
spit out. There is no sense in making the OSD 4 lines big, if the
FE currently only delivers one or two values ;o)) However, due
to the automated checking, if the driver improves, you can then
receive more infos w/o needed to change anything in VDR.

Now, I DIDN'T mean it that way ;o)) Actually my first revisons
(never released) did try to use your patchwork. As this didn't
work with the new drivers, I modified my code and it evolved
to what it is now. Just as wine, VDR needs time to rippen and
taste (work ;o)) good.

Greetz,
Reinhard
