Go into the picture settings and under the 'Screen' menu set the picture to 'full pixel'. Apart from anything you'll get a better picture on HD channels as it won't be scaling the picture.

If I turn the subtitles on for any channel using the Subtitles button on the remote, as soon as I change to another one or go to EPG/other menu there is a thin vertical line of graphical trash (i.e stray pixels) on the right hand side. This persists across channels. This is only visible when the HDMI setting on the TV is set to Screen Fit, i.e. 0% overscan, so it occurs to me this bug wasn't discovered because whoever codes/tests the firmware had their TVs overscanned at least slightly. It disappears only when the unit is hard rebooted, i.e. switched off via the back panel not standby with the remote. Simply turning off the subtitles doesn't banish it.
|
It seems to be that once the trashy line appears down the right - press menu and then tv and its gone. Seems to stay gone for a long time too - maybe the next reboot.

Agreed, and I hadn't realised it works with i player so thanks!

I have just thought about this and all you need to do when this happens is:
Press Home (to go in to the menu) and the Thumbs down- Thumbs up and then Play Play Play. It will reset the UI and also get rid of the lines.
Hope this helps you

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Does the same on my Sammy now and then, a channel change clears it for it.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I have an LG 42" LCD TV.
Is there an option to do the same for no overscan ?

Yes. I think it's 'Just Scan' on the LGs. I think it's in the Aspect Ratio bit

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Found the 'Just Scan' option.
What does this mean tho (as i'm guessing 16:9 will be 16:9 and 4:3 will be 4:3) ?

It varies depending on the model. On mine I press the Menu button then go to Settings->Display. Then I select Screen and under Display Area I select Full Pixel.
If you get stuck post the model number of your TV.

Being slightly more technical as an HD picture is exactly 1920x1080 pixes (if 1080i) and a HD TV is 1920x1080 (if a 1080 tv) then 'Just Scan' means each pixel of the picture matches exactly with each pixel of the TV. This means you get the best quality HD picture possible
Otherwise your TV is Digitally zooming into the HD picture slightly, and an extreme example of how that can mess with a picture is the digital zoom you get on cameras

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Ah ok.
My TV is 1080p, tho TiVo is using 1080i, as 1080p (pass-thru) is enabled along with 1080i (on TiVo), but seems to like 1080 (as it says it's the preferred format for my TV).

It will be. 1080i is the highest broadcast resolution available on TiVo. Seemy post on this earlier in the thread http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35...-post4920.html
