My Mitsu RP HDTV has insane amounts of overscan, so I deal with it by running the front end in a window, then tweaking the size and X and Y offsets of the display. I've got it to "fill up" the rear projection set with the frontend. Technically the desktop would be showing through around the outside if my set didn't do the overscan, but this sort of solves the problem. Keep in mind the actual frontend is then sized smaller than the full resolution of the set, so your frontend is actually scaling content. Since all my Myth content currently is standard definition, I don't mind it. But someday when I get a 1080i output clean through I'd like to fix that. Steve
