I can push the left border off with overscan, but not the top one,
because of the letterboxing. The nvidia-settings utility is great for
setting up the overscan, flicker filter etc. I get a way better
picture on my regular TV through the TV out on my 5200 than through
rabbit ears and the normal TV tuner.

I picked my 5200 up for $69 from Frys. You can probably do a bit better.
