Three White Dots ***

[theaktv]

Hey everyone,

I want to preface this by saying I am very satisfied with GBPVR, I bought a whole bunch of hardware with the intention of using mythTV, turns out the hauppauge drivers for my VIA KM400 chipset don't work on linux, thankfully there is GBPVR.

Unfortunately my SK43G's internal s-video OUT only fills up about 95% of my screen, giving it a thin 5% border, I hope to buy a new card when I have some money to fix this problem, but I noticed that as of yesterday there are three white dots that appear in the top right hand corner.

After doing some searching I heard mention of closed caption hidden by overscan, but I don't believe that this is the case, because they appear both during television playback, and the playback of DVDs, but only inside of GBPVR.

I have my playback settings to use the default decoder and player for all instances....anyone have any ideas?

Thank You -
Danny.

Also, I hope to get a picture of my setup online for you guys, is there a thread where people have done this? I'm actually pretty proud about how everything looks.

This is a problem with many, many cards. I think. Usually you can change the overscan setting, but that often makes you lose 5% of the border instead...

I'll poke around for the overscan setting, any ideas where I can start?

Although I appreciate the info, I'd really like to get rid of those dots.

There are three white (actually not white simply inverse of whatever color they should be) dots in the upper right hand corner,any ideas on what they are or how to get rid of them?

Overscan settings would be in "properties" for your graphics card (if it has any overscan settings, it might not). I don't know about the dots. Have you tried changing the decoder to something else?
