Yes, it sucks about the same way as the LogoAway filter for VirtualDub :)

Unfortunately, I haven't yet seen a (freely available) logo removing 
filter producing an acceptable picture. DeLogo for VirtualDub can detect 
the shape of the logo, but it requires a tedious setup procedure and the 
final results aren't in fact so much better as you have usually to 
choose a huge blur to make the artifacts disappear.
