That things are not kvdr's fault but the OSD chips, just BTW ;-)
the blurry letters of kvdr result of the filtering/upscaling process and 
can't be avoided that way, it would be more appropriate to "draw" the osd on 
the final surface (aka the already upscaled video-frame) than draw the OSD on 
the video and upscale later...

I assume that the xine-plugin does purely use software decoding?

would really like to have an alternative to the always locking up dvb-card 
and still be able to choose between window/fullscreen/tv-out ...
