[mythtv-users] HELP about TV output

[Robin Smith]

If the blue line is just when watching recorded programs/live TV, you
may find the best adjustment is the MythTV overscan (Setup > TV
Settings > Playback). I have mine
overscanning by 2 in both directions and offset by -1 in both directions.
I also tweaked my MythTV GUI  with a custom GUI size/position in Setup
 > Appearance and have Use GUI Size for TV playback set to On.

It took some trial and error, but things are sweet now.
