Thanks Ben, that got rid of the overscan.

As for the recording playback, I think that I have may have narrowed it down
a little.  I've turned on "Deinterlace Playback" under the MythTV TV
Settings.  This got rid of the jaggedness of the image, but it is still very
blurry.  I've tried all four of the de-interlacing algorithms, and none of
them got rid of the blurriness.

Anyone have an idea how to get rid of the blurriness now?

Thanks,

David
