[mythtv-users] PVR-350 + PAL tv, over scan problem.

[Jason Garrett]

Hi, I had this same problem while setting up.

I had to run the frontend in a window, and set the gui size and
offsets to my custom levels.

To get everything set, I  had to swtich my xorg.conf back to that of
my video card, change some settings, then swtich back to the xorg.conf
of the pvr350.

My settings for gui size and offset are as follows...

GUI width    (px): 620
GUI height  (px): 440

GUI X offset: 40
GUI Y offset: 20

Hope this helps you!
