Post subject:  HDTV OTA capture and screen size

Hi Folks,

When I watch PBS-HD OTA the PBS logo is half off the screen (18inch analog CRT). I also notice that the OSD is sometimes wraps off screen as well.

I watched the NFL playoff games on Fox and they appeared fine.

I have the 0.2 Air2PC capture card with R5E5, Nvidia 5200 FX, AMD 64 2800+ and 1 gig.

Thanks,

John

Your 1080i modeline has too much overscan, or it's shoved right or left.
FOX uses 720p, so that's a different modeline.
Search here and the wiki for modelines and you may find help. Make a backup of your xorg.conf (if you're on R5E50) before messing it up.
As for me, my 1080i is ok, but the 720 is a little off on the right, so I get logos chopped on ABC and FOX. I will play with it one of these days...

I ran the R5E50 auto upgrade and now PBS 1080i looks great. I believe I had my theme/appearance set to "larger fonts" and that somehow changed my screen size. I'm not sure but now my fonts are back to the way they were before and the screen size looks better.
