[mythtv-users] Blue band right side of picture

I just switched from my nVidia TV-out back to my PVR350. The TV Quality 
is much better... however, now I seem to be having this same problem!!! 
I have a thin blue line down the rightside of my screen, with a thicker 
black (dead) area to the right of that. overscan doesn't seem to fix 
anything... this seems to be the area where the right side of the PVR350 
ENDS!

Has anyone experienced this? Any fixes? I tried running xvidtune, but 
PVR350 doesn't seem to like any of the modlines involving making the 
picture wider!

Please help!

thanks,
   Mark
