[mythtv] tracked down problems with fast-forward with pvr-350

So, I found that if I comment out the contents of
VideoOutputIvtv::ProcessFrame(), I can fastforward, rewind, skip
commercials, etc. (it breaks a few other things, like OSD which I
expected, and exiting playing the video which I didn't expect...)
I could live without the OSD, but since it breaks more than that, I
wouldn't suggest my "patch" to others. So anyway, the problem is, I
_think_ that you can't just throw the OSD on top of a frame in an mpeg
stream (but you can when its paused) and the decoder is getting
confused. So, either mythtv needs to not display the OSD when the video
is moving, or it needs to do "clever mpeg stuff" to properly put the OSD
on, and then take it off when it should be gone.
I _might_ be able to track down why I can't exit the video playback
(hitting esc doesn't work) and turn OSD off all together, but it would
be nice if we could have OSD _and_ working doFastForward....
