You may need some overscan and x displacement. This works
for me:

# Over/underscan options
# do we over or underscan inside mythtv?  either 'overscan' or 'underscan'
str VertScanMode=overscan
str HorizScanMode=overscan
# How much do we chop (or add)?  %, 0 - 100
int VertScanPercentage=2
int HorizScanPercentage=2
# How much do we offset the picture?
int xScanDisplacement=2
int yScanDisplacement=0
