This problem seems to have disappeared with a reboot into a new kernel, although there is nothing new in the kernel to explain why. Oh well, let sleeping dogs lie. I did some comparisons with live TV and the same live TV signal recored and played back (only slightly delayed) through mplayer. The amount of visible picture is the same, however the OSD in the top left is still off the screen. I suspect that there is some portion of the border of a television broadcast signal that is not seen on a television. I have noticed this when I compare a television program on the television with what I see when I record it and play it on the computer. There is a lot more bottom border on CNN (i.e. under the scrolling text) for instance when you watch it on a computer than when you watch on regular television. Anyhow, this seems to be a non-issue for the moment. I will hack mplayer to move the OSD down a bit. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
