It is the xbox video that needs adjusting.  Need to use xbv and adjust the 
overscan for your TV.  On my box a value of 9 completely fills the screen.

As for the DVD add on.  Its the remote.  Under linux you can play DVDs w/o 
it.  But it works so well with Myth, you will certainly want to get one.

FYI, you can get a refurbed unit from EBay for $118.99 the guy has a few 100 
of em and its a buy now option.  You can also get the remote for about $10 
from ebay.  they retail for $30.  So thats abother good deal.   All in all, 
for $150 (with the shipping) you can has an excelent Media Player that 
supports MythTV and looks good sitting with the other AV equipment.
