Removing the splash= produces a pure text menu that the TV displays
properly. Thank you, Mikkel. TV's, even modern flat screens, make lousy
computer monitors. The basic purpose of this system is a DVR.

Jeremy K added the splash to grub to improve it, and as an advertising
vector. Side effect was my problem, which is fixable.

As far as grub sucking, it was written for a purpose by somebody else.
If you think it sucks, write something better. If you can't write, shut
up, and go away. 

Excuse me, rude people make me rude. I am very good at being rude, you
should try me in person. Bring a helmet, and some bandages.

read what i wrote. i said grub stinks. that is why it is being rewritten.

manual sucks and needs to be rewritten with more information so people
can have a better understanding of what is supposed to happen. leaving
out information, causes holes. holes suck.

had i included 'grub.conf' and 'menu.lst' in my post when i discussed
them,
i would have noticed that anaconda puts 'splashimage=' in 'grub.conf' by
default and asked you to '#' it out to see what happens.

from order of post, others did not have awareness either.

i can write, do, and intend to. but not for grub.

you are excused. trying to help someone is not being rude.

most evident. when you grow up and gain maturity, i would not mind meeting.
i do not need a helmet nor bandages. now or later.

glad to see you have you computer problems solve so quickly. you other
problems will take you a lot longer.
