<pre wrap="">Are there any other solutions to this? I use both HD and analog tv and
only the analog has the garbage. If I use settings in the TV playback
screens it effects both analog and HD and so I must compromise garbage
at the bottom of my HD channels for clean analog channels and
vice-versa. Also, other video players that I've used (like tvtime)
automatically take care of this garbage, why can't myth?

Can you take a screencap of it? Or does it look anything similar to
the bars at the top on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mrmagoo.org/temp/HDTV-2.jpg">http://www.mrmagoo.org/temp/HDTV-2.jpg</a> and
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mrmagoo.org/temp/HDTV-3.jpg">http://www.mrmagoo.org/temp/HDTV-3.jpg</a> ? On QAM channels I see these
lines on any 4:3 programming and they are rather annoying, and I now
notice them on analog channels too. I thought it was something the
cable company did so their STB can switch for 16:9 and stretched 4:3,
but my previous post to this list got no responses. I havn't seen
this with my TV's built-in tuner, so I assume it is something MythTV
is suppost to handle that it doesn't.
I see the overscan settings could fix this, but without being able to
set program-specific overscans it would be cutting off some of
"normal" broadcasts. I guess a small price to pay for sanity but
still.

that's just VBI data. It's in every broadcast. You don't see it on your
regular TV with it's tuner because the mfr sets the overscan so high
that it's not seen. You can too. It's easy to do with the overscan
setting in mythtv

Set the Vertical over/underscan setting to something small like 2 or 4
and check your video playback. I play both NTSC and ATSC 6:9 and it
works fine.<br>
