I probably just need to play around with the overscan in MythTV. When I was using the nVidia card, I had to do the same thing, but couldn't get rid of the borders fully (because adding to the amount of overscan would chop off parts of the GUI). Just a lot of playing around.
What is nice about the PVR-350 decoder is that I don't get the borders, which seem to curve a bit depending on what is being played back. Nonetheless, I might experiment with it a bit more and see what happens (as using the MPEG-2 decoder does have some minor downsides). On the upside, with the xv output on the PVR-350, I noticed that I don't need to deinterlace the output anymore in MythTV, so I don't need to use Bob. The tickers on ESPN (which without Bob were the most problematic) seem perfect without deinterlacing. So many options, so little time to play with them.
