OK, this is not important. Reducing errors in the driver is important.

But it would be more ergonomic. It's like showing the OSD (when
switching channels) on top or bottom. Or showing the lines when
switching a channel. It's not a new functionality for the user, but it
improves the interface to him.

Oops, sorry, didn't know that. I think I read the manual too quickly. ;)
Thanks!

Bye, Uwe.
