You could make a small shell script that calls mythtvosd to
display the current time and map the script to a button on your

mythtvosd --template=alert --alert_text=$(date)
This was my first impulse but thought I would check before
reinventing the wheel. :)
I don't want to exit the show I am watching just to see the time.
It would be nice to see it in the OSD info.
For a more realistic clock on your video capture machine, use this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
for ( my $i = 0; 1; $i++ )
{
`mythtvosd --template=alert --alert_text="12:00"`;
sleep 1;
`mythtvosd --template=alert --alert_text=""`;
sleep 1;
}
Sorry... couldn't resist.
