I've now got a dedicated machine to use as a PVR, so have stopped using the MVP.
The problem on this machine is that anytime the OSD or miniguide display during live tv preview or recording playback, the picture goes completely black. The sound continues, so the video is still playing but can't be seen. As soon as the OSD times out, the video reappears and everything is great.
My video card is a ATI Radeon 9250 with the latest drivers, on a Windows 2k machine with a Sempron 2400 processor. If I select VMR 7 or 9 in config I get an error, so I have to use Overlay. I have a Nova-T DVB card.
From using the MVP (with my desktop pc, not the dedicated PVR machine) I know that transparent OSD is possible, but I can't make it work.
All settings on the Playback tab are left as system default, as that worked before.
What do I need to change to enable transparent overlay? I've searched the forums and can't see an obvious answer.
Thanks,
Simon
P.S. The MVP is for sale if anyone in the UK wants it.
