It is the xbox video that needs adjusting. Need to use xbv and adjust the
overscan for your TV. On my box a value of 9 completely fills the screen.
As for the DVD add on. Its the remote. Under linux you can play DVDs w/o
it. But it works so well with Myth, you will certainly want to get one.
FYI, you can get a refurbed unit from EBay for $118.99 the guy has a few 100
of em and its a buy now option. You can also get the remote for about $10
from ebay. they retail for $30. So thats abother good deal. All in all,
for $150 (with the shipping) you can has an excelent Media Player that
supports MythTV and looks good sitting with the other AV equipment.
