Abstract
A video apparatus having variable OSD (on-screen display) graphic data and a method therefor. The video apparatus receives or downloads OSD graphic data from an external OSD graphic data source, to enable a user to alter the OSD display data without having to store a large number of different types of OSD display data. The video apparatus may be a television receiver set, a web television receiver set, a web video camera or some other video appliance.
