It's teletext data (VBI I think is the proper name), streaming of text data within the video signal. It was designed to be hidden in the bit of the picture you couldn't see on an analog television. AFAIK the only way to get rid of it is to tweak your overscan settings so that the top few pixels aren't visible. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
