Hello,

TV Time doesn't work anymore on my Cyrus+ board with a FSL P50x0 PowerPC 
SoC [1] and on my P.A. Semi Nemo board [2] after dropping the overlay 
support [3]. It starts and then the whole computer freezes.

I use the following BTTV cards.

- WinTV Express with a BT878A chip
- Typhoon TView RDS + FM Stereo (BT878 chip)

It would be really nice if we could get the overlay support back, 
because we love TV Time. [4]

We use TV Time with connected TV receivers and game consoles.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Deb,

It works! :-)

I adjusted the OverScan configuration to 3.5 today (.tvtime/tvtime.xml) 
and this solved this issue.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Christian
