Description:

	anthra_SD-skin is a dark, anthracite skin for Klaus Schmidingers VDR (http://www.tvdr.de/).

	The resolution of the skin is 720x576 and it is vertically scalable.
	Aspect ratio is 4:3, if 16:9 is needed anthra_1024 should be used.

	Users with FullHD- or HD-Ready-capable hardware should have a look at anthra-Full-HD and anthra-HD-Ready-skins

	e.g. http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=99886

	anthra_SD-skin is designed to work with softdecoders like vdr-xine and xineliboutput - both preferred with vdpau - 
	but it is also succesfully tested with eHD-cards.

	The skin will not work with Fullfeaturd-DVB-Cards with only original (2MB) memory
	and DXR3-Cards.

	Fullfeaturd-DVB-Cards with extended memory (modded) should be tested.
