Overscan on CRT screen

[NumberFive]

Hello,

I've just managed to get my GBPVR setup running nicely on a Nova-T on UK's Freeview service (yippie!).

One problem though is that the skins all seem to have been designed for a computer monitor or LCD TV in mind. On my CRT widescreen TV I am left with the option of overscanning such that I can't read a lot of the text around the edges of some menus / EPG info, or scan exactly to the boundaries of the video frame and end up with black banding around the edges on some of the TV recordings.

Is there a solution to this? Perhaps a skin with a CRT TV in mind?

Many thanks

Look in the config.xml for the lines below and make adjustments there.

Code:

<!-- overscan control (border size in pixels) -->
  <OverScanBorderX1>0</OverScanBorderX1>
  <OverScanBorderY1>0</OverScanBorderY1>
  <OverScanBorderX2>0</OverScanBorderX2>
  <OverScanBorderY2>0</OverScanBorderY2>
  <OverScanVideoAlso>true</OverScanVideoAlso>

Also most video cars have options for dealing with overscan - worth a look.
