I did a quick search and didnt see an answer. Maybe I missed it. Anyhow, I started running this on my widescreen LCD but didnt like the overall picture quality so I now have it running on a CRT 4/3 monitor. For some reason it cuts off the top and bottom of the screen. Probably 3/4-1" on both the top and bottom. Ive tried running it in 16/9 and 4/3 and at several different resolutions and no matter what I try it always does this. It did the same thing on my Widescreen on Widescreen Mode.

This only seems to happen on QAM Enabled channels.

Ive played with my monitor settings and it doesnt seem to fix the problem. Any ideas or is there something Im missing?

this to do with the broadcast i would say not anything gbpvr does
if you are using nvidia pure video decoder you could try changing the setting in their
you can press f7
or modify the config file to zoom but this will affect everything not just the qam channels

TV's always overscan, with about 15% of the picture outside the screen. But if you are using a monitor I'm suprised it's happening (unless you are using HDTV modes which also overscan).
By default gbpvr does overscan a bit itself, for monitor users, to hide the edges of video that can be messy. You can get rid of this overscan by editing your config.xml:
<!-- zoom control -->
<HorizontalZoom>1.00</HorizontalZoom>
<HorizontalOffset>0</HorizontalOffset>
<VerticalZoom>1.00</VerticalZoom>
<VerticalOffset>0</VerticalOffset>

Usually horizontal zoom default is 1.05 and vertical is 1.03. I put them both to 1.00 as I am using 720p, which overscans anyway...
