What is interesting is that I see this as well on ALL recordings be it mplayer, xine, or internal. Also, it looks like the video being displayed is not centered on the blue overlay. The video appears to be down and to the right. The reason I say this is that no matter how much I overscan, and how low I take the resolution, I still get this blue over lay issue. I know that the command above only changes the color of the overlay when in fact we need a way to "move" the video being displayed up and to the left (for me at least, others need it up and to the right). I have tried using powerstrip to get timings, but that doesn't work at all. The screen just stays in the same place and isn't affected by moves in PowerStrip. I do get to a point if I move the screen enough, it goes haywire on me and I can't see anything. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue that is actually a resolution and not a switch the color but won't be able to see all edges of a video? Thanks! I love MythTV. I don't even watch live TV anymore. I have a BUNCH of videos on my PC as well and it is SOOO nice to be able to watch them on my big screen and not on my PC screen. Thanks again! _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
