Re: Re: Homevision Text over external video

["Andrew Kilgore" <amkilgore@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Eamon,

Can you tell us the actual HV commands you're using to try to get the OSD
over external video.
I remember when I played with this functionality (a long time ago) that
things weren't as obvious as they seemed.

Many thanks,
Andy.

No Simon,

Its set to 4:3, should this make a difference ?

I am now using a plain old VCR as my Video source, with the same
problem, so it does not seem to be anything related to SKY box, more
likely HV.
