[mythtv-users] Pundit and Overscan

[Steve Davidson]

Have you tried the TVXPosOffset and TVYPosOffset options of the driver? 
You might have better luck with these values (SVideo happens to be fine
on my TV at 800x600 and 640x480, except for some odd Xv behavior).

Not sure if CHTVOverscan will help you out here, AFAIK the Pundit
doesn't use a Chrontel TV encoder (though I could be wrong)

Check out Thomas W's docs for specifics on the driver options, there's
quite a bit of detail there.
