Same problem here (yeah, a me too post).  I have resorted to counting 
clicks and reading the help text at the bottom to figure out where I'm 
at.  My LCD tv is not nearly as bad as my HD RPTV.  Everything looks 
fine on a computer monitor.  I'm using Ubuntu (9.04) as well.

In a real pinch, I can configure things through VNC on my laptop.
