I agree, although I think overscan on digital TVs is kind of a weird  
carry-over from the analog era.  Analog TVs had overscan because the  
CRT beam was hard to control at the edges of the picture, and because  
the VBI had a lot of visually-distracting stuff in it.  Overscan hid  
the wavy edges, the VBI trash, and (on VCR signals) the head  
switchover point.  None of this really applies to a digital TV.
