There's only so much information you can fit on a 640x480 screen such
that it's readable from 10 feet away. While MythTV allows you to use it
at a minimum of 640x480, you should really use at least 800x600.

Just before 0.20 was released, Isaac did some cleanup of the setup pages
to make them fit better in response to Trac ticket #2220 (
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/commits/219277#219277 ), so
it's unlikely to get any better based on another bug report. If it's
really a problem for you, I highly recommend you find a way to patch it
to make it better.
