[mythtv-users] MSI MX440SE-T and Overscan, Best cards for NTSCTV-Out

The MX440SE does support overscan in the NVidia driver.  I'm running this setup right now.  To the original poster:  did you set the overscan in your XF86Config file?  Read the readme that comes with the NVidia driver for how to do this.

With overscan set to 1.0, I can't imagine you'd have any underscan.  1.0 on my setup only lets me see about 50% of the picture, it's so overscanned.  I have it set to 0.7 and it's pretty good.
