Have you played with the overscan settings in MythTV? I spent quite a
few hours obsessing with various settings.

Plus, if you are outputting to TV via svideo or composite, you'll want
to play with the overscan settings in the nvidia driver utility
nvidia-settings (I am on the 6629 drivers)

I have to overscan my display a bit in the nvidia utility (which
results in the edges being cut off in X a little).

I then run MythTV with a custom GUI size (smaller than my 1024x768 X
setting) and a positive X and Y offset. Basically, I tweaked the X and
Y offset until I got the top left positioned, then I messed with the
GUI size to get the bottom right correct.

I set TV plaback to match GUI size and played with the overscan
playback in Myth ending up with an overscan of 2 in both directions
and and offset of -1 in both directions.

Hope that makes sense, I am not looking at my Mythbox right now so I
can't tell you the correct labels on these settings.

I have had both the blue lines and the black borders, with the above
tweaks they are gone.

In fact, I am back to the above svideo optimized settings after a
failed attempt at getting DVI to HDMI working, damn those modelines...
