Must admit I've not got mine configured at the moment. Every now and
then TiVo reboots and resets itself and I have to reinstall everything
- all the 'extra s/w bits' anyway - which gets annoying. YAC has been
one of the casualties of this and I usually only bother with the
extraction s/w nowadays.

But I've been meaning to update this side of things as I use James'
Message.Display schema exclusively for OSD nowadays (ie MCxAP for
Windows MCE and my Slims). So it is very definitely on the ToDo list,
but I'm updating a couple of other things at the moment.

Think you got one of these elsewhere?

There was a smaller list published elsewhere just recently, possibly
from StuartP perhaps? I guess whatever you'd like to use will be
available, so just shout up I think!!
