 - If the OSD isn't visible, you've configured the OSD height too big or too
   small. Please, try to adjust the variable on the setup page before writing
   any bug reports. NTSC users should use a shrinked default OSD height by
-  compiling the plugin with: make FEMON_NTSC=1
+  modifying VDR's setup.conf: femon.OSDHeight = 420
 
 - If the SVDRP service is used: femon won't notice if the server is tuned
   to a different channel and tuning the channel on the server might annoy
