[mythtv] Re: MythLCD Channel Info

[Tako Schotanus]

Dan, the messages happen appear only in the beginning.
I can also see that the driver does not get passed any information (only 
empty screens).
The only pages that seem to do enything are:
- the myth music menu
- the music play screen
- the myth video menu

but.... and this is the strange thing... always a page "late"! So in the 
music play screen I'll see the menu and if I escape from the play screen 
I get the last song that played. Weird :-)

But I think the the "output 0" could have something to do with it yes 
because the VFD doesn't support all of the things an LCD does (there's 
no concept of contrast for example). So it might be that the driver 
returns 0 somewhere it shouldn't. I'll look into it.

Cheers,
 -Tako
