Does anyone here have a PCH working on a regular standard def set (NTSC)?

I just got a second PCH (the first works great w/ my 1080p set), so I tried setting up a second and ran into a problem:

When I set up, I created a seperate share for the second PCH (mvpmc_480) since the startmeup script would pass a different screen resolution. In this instance I uncommented this line: /etc/mvpmc_480/mvpmcx2 -m ntsc &

In config.xml, I added a second PCH stanza with the new PCH's MAC address.

The original has 1280x720 for resolution (matches the -m 720 line in my orignal mvpmc share). For the new stanza, I specified 720x480 (matches the NTSC mode).

My problem: the GBPVR menu seems crammed up at the top of my screen & the right hand side of the menu wraps around & is visible on the left hand side of the screen making it difficult to read.

I use ntsc but because of overscan 720x480 isn't going to work on very many tv's. I actually found the default mode for PAL worked best for me and with sub's default for PAL in the don't edit me config file. 640, 500, 44, 40 and so figured making 640x576 as default then life would be simple. gaya does this too.

If your TV can't handle that, add --display 640x480 and adjust config.xml accordingly.
