No, you can use the video output on the nexus card and yes it will show the
OSD also. A way to improve the video quality is to use S-VHS or RGB
connection
that was available on some DVB cards as header (J2)
I'm not sure if the nexus has the J2 and even then, there's no commercial
avaliable cable
to connect the J2.
