This is probably the case.  However, when I study the HD-PVR sample,
it appears that the bottom two lines (out of 1088 total lines) have
the green line garbage, and 6 lines above have legitimate picture
information.

In any case, the scaling trick to hide the green line only works on a
16:9 aspect ratio display, so I will try to get the code to truncate
the source before it gets to the scaling step.
