truncated/zoomed in screen

[kurrrrrrt]

Long time lurker - completed my first build about a month ago. This forum has helped me with many, many issues and is a great resource. Thank you to all who contribute.

Here is my problem: No changes in the last 2 weeks, but 2 days ago I noticed that the GBPVR screen (when displayed on the TV), now seems zoomed in, so about 1/4 of the buttons on the left of the Recordings menu are now "hidden" by the left edge of the TV bezel. The date and logo on the main screen are also truncated. (for instance I cannot see the year part of the date on the main screen - I only see 20 and not 2006)

Any ideas?

I have the HTPC running on a 36inch TV. I remote into the box using TightVNC to perform any tweaks/maintenance. When I do remote in, the "zoomed" effect is not present in any way - I assume VNC is taking care of that. I do run full screen and not windowed.

This sounds like an issue with the settings in your graphics card, but... If you close gbpvr, do you see the entire windows desktop ok?

Check to make sure in the advanced setting for your graphics card that "overscan" is not enabled. With it enabled, all screen adjustments (size and position) are disabled. Mine will cut off the "recording soon" portion at the bottom as well as part of the clock at the top.

I got it. I didn't find any "overscan" setting in the bazillion droplists/checkboxes available, however, on a hunch I DEselected the "Force TV Detection", rebooted, and strangely that did the trick! Go figure! (Don't ask me how I got that hunch, because I have no idea.)
