Manually set your GUI size. Utilities/Setup->Setup->Appearance->Next
I have the same setup as you, but using NTSC. I set my GUI to:
width 642
height 455
X offset 34
Y offset 15
I got these numbers through trial and error and these work best for
me. I had to choose an OSD theme that didn't cut off on the sides too
much, as well. I'm using Titivillus-OSD, but with PAL, you might have
better luck with others.
