Thank you for this. Do you know the reason for overscanning on HDMI, my
projector being 1280x720 you would think that with a digital connection it
would fully utilizes it.
with subtitled shows, everythings stays on screen. Go to from the main

I understand that this would work within MythTV itself, but what about
watching a DVD or a DivX, mythtv is simply calling external program ..
As you said when watching TV, overscan isn't much of a problem, I only
notices it when going into mythtv configuration screen.
would be even on the sides. Do the same with the Height, e.g; 690

Will do when I get back home.
