Well, Elephant's Dream by Team Orange is a totally free (as in beer  
AND speech) video available in HD resolutions (1080i and 720p, I  
think, possible 1080p, but I don't remember). Just google for it.  
Dunno if it'll help with the overscan, but for that, you can probably  
use an image through MythGallery, or just use the menu buttons to try  
and judge. Good luck.
