[mythtv-users] Lousy picture quality on normal TV

[Bryan Ware]

I am using a GeForce 440 MX with SVideo out to a Sanyo 27 inch TV and It
works great. The only thing was i couldn't use the latest drivers since
it doesn't do OverScan correctly. I believe the 4363 drivers are the
last ones that OverScan works with (Per Jarod's installation procedure
