That would do well on the SD, though I must admit that I have a long term
desire (with no time to code it, sigh) that Myth develop a mode for
"I'm doing SDTV on an HDTV."  In this mode:

    a) The SD video would be nicely deinterlaced and displayed in an
       xv/opengl style window in the middle

    b) The OSD would not go on top of the video, but on the left bar,
       and be rendered in full resolution.  Optionally on all the time.
       Ditto PIP (though why anybody wants PIP with mythtv baffles me.)

    c) Ditto closed captioning, in the other pillar
