Phil:
Thanks for the response.
I got the overscan issue fixed last night... i had to tweak the MythTV GUI Size and over/underscan setting after that... but now the GUI looks GREAT.
I had tried all that filtering, and I'm still not thrilled with the picture. I fiddled with the nVidia settings color adjustments, and this did help. Any other suggestions from anyone else out there....? My picture is still washed out/grainy. However... see my next post for the big problem....
Thanks again, Mark

Lots of people seem to have problem with the 350 TV Out on this list, so you're in good company :)
1) It seems that the TV-OUT on the 5200 doesn't quite fill my screen.
There are black borders all around the image. I'm pretty sure this isn't
an X problem per-se... because even my grub screen has the same issue.
This is pretty annoying-- any ideas/suggestions??
Could be an overscan issue. In your xorg.conf you could try this in the Device section. Try a number of different settings to find the one that looks best: # Option "TVOverScan" "Decimal value in range 0.0 to 1.0" Option "TVOverScan" "0.60"
2) The Image quality is just not where I want it to be. The lines seem a
little blurred, and the colors are a touch washed out... it's *close*,
but not quite there. Has anyone noticed this issue? Are there any fixes?
Try these in your channel settings- they work for me:
videofilter : adjust=18:237:1.0:35:220:1.0,denoise3d contrast : 23200 brightness : 34000 colour : 32000 hue : 32768 (If you have lots of chanels you may want to update the channel table directly in mysql).
In modprobe.conf I have these chroma_agc and combfilter options for my BTTV card: options bttv card=55,37 radio=0 tuner=0,28 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 YMMV with a 350.
And in Setup --> T VSettings --> Playback I'm using Deinterlace (even tho I'm wathing it on a TV with the Bob 2x framerate algorithm. Try it and see it it works for you.
I've tried to get the DVI on my 5200 to display on my Sony with no luck,
and I'm hesitant to drop the $150 for the more Recent nVidia cards (with
Component out) until I'm sure they'll make my video appear the way I
want it to.
I seem to remember something about component out not being supported. You may want to check the archives for that.
Regards,
Phill
