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.

Thanks for the info.
