OK, I've fixed it as best I can. I actually needed a modeline to force X into 
displaying something otherwise it wouldn't start.

Trouble is I tried lots of different Modelines but none of them made any 
difference to the actual picture size. So I reverted to using nvidia-settings 
to get the right amount of overscan although this means the Myth menu borders 
are sometimes lost off the edge of the screen but only just.

Finally, I needed to tweak the Myth playback size as this had a slight border 
top and bottom.

BTW, the TV encoder was detected as Nvidia and not Conexant.
