Hi,
I have been experimenting with increasing the resolution of the OSD with xineliboutput with at least some kind of success (see http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hdosdrx4.png and try to not get bothered about the other "images" you are forced to see, this was the first image sharing site I came across).
Now there are some problems that have come up with the HD OSD. Font rendering and the way fonts and OSD are used by plugins are the main distractions. I bumped in to this Utf8-patch (http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Utf8-patch) which looks promising, but failed to find any more information than what is provided in the german wiki. And the latest adaptation is for VDR 1.4.0. Is the someone out there using this patch and could share his experiences? Maybe someone has adapted it to the current version of VDR...
