If you are going to use overscan, then the interface should be designed to take into account the TV Safe area.
Freevo does take into account the safe action area and overscan area (referring to the area outside of the safe action area). That's what OSD_OVERSCAN_X and OSD_OVERSCAN_Y are for. If your tv encoder is overscanning ~20 pixels we must make sure not to draw that close to the 'edge' of the tv signal.

yes I have, and I also need to make the GUI image smaller somehow.
So, you want to make the safe action area smaller - that is what Freevo's overscan settings do.
overscan settings will not take negative numbers so those are useless (I want a -20 setting!)
That is like saying you want Freevo to draw outside of the tv signal which doesn't make sense.
Your dxr3 (or any tv output method / encoder / xserver / drivers) is responsible for actually overscanning the picture. Many xservers that support tv-out also have an overscan setting for this, the same is true for some framebuffer drivers, and some just overscan a certain amount automatically.
So, if your tv-out is overscanning 30 pixels horizontally and in Freevo your OSD_OVERSCAN_X is only set to 20 then freevo will draw things outside of your visible tv border, outside of the safe action area. You would need at least a value of 30 (probably a bit more) for OSD_OVERSCAN_X to make it look right. Our overscan settings really determine what Freevo thinks is the safe action area.
so yes it works, except that the freevo GUI is overscanning too far.
It sounds like your dxr3 is overscanning too far and you need to tell Freevo just how much.
