This is simple to fix.  I had the same problem and this is how I got
rid of the garbage line.  I'm not in front of myth right now so I
can't give you the exact steps.  In mythfrontend under the setup menu
there is a choice that allows the playback size to be scaled up or
down by percentage.  The horizontal and vertical scaling are separate
choices.  So just change the vertical scaling by +2% (or something
similar).  That should get rid of the bottom line of garbage.  There
is also a similar looking menu to scale the OSD size horizontally and
vertically but that is not required.
