That's only for increasing overscan isn't it?  He's looking for the opposite.

Unless I'm mistaken I think the only way to do this is to come up with
a modeline that actually displays at something slightly less than
1280x720.

Eyal:  I'm a little confused about the comment that they lied about
the TV being native 1280x720.  I thought most TVs tended to have
overscan.  My RP CRT is definitely native 1080i, but it has at least
5% overscan.
