That was what I was thinking.  I have a terrible problem with overscan
on one front end.  Very difficult to see some of the flags MythTV
creates.

Example:
Showing that it's a commercial flagged program.  Also program groups
etc... are off the screen some what.

Do you know if this is per front end?
Example:
Custom identifier for front end preferences

Thanks for your reply
