[mythtv-users] Navigation/Configuration issues

[Timothy McFadden]

You might want to check out a VNC program and connect that way. You'll be
able to run mythfrontend from a remote desktop and won't have screen size
issues. At least you'll have the keyboard.

Howerver, you'll want to fix the screen size anyway. I think there are two
things to play with: Setup -> Appearance -> GUI height/width/offset; and TV
Settings -> Playback -> Overscan.
