Is there an option to do the same for no overscan ?

On my LG I select 1:1 pixel instead of 16:9

OK, I just looked up the manual and it's not too helpful so try following the instructions in my previous post.

Possibly under settings where you set 4:3 / 16:9 etc

That's the zoom mode/aspect correction. The thing I'm talking about is buried in the settings menus.

OK, press the Home button and select 'Settings'
Select 'Display'
Select 'Screen'
Under 'Display Area' select 'Full Pixel'

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Just a thought but would it now pay for engineers to advise customers during the install to review TV settings after an installation to experiment with these features to get the best possible HD picture. Then maybe people will see more of the wow factor and not an overscanned lesser quality picture?

An interesting thought, however what would be better would be for TV makers and/or sellers to tell customers that adjustments to their TV setup when first installed will almost certainly be needed.

Yeah, that and setting up the remote to work with the customers own TV or audio receiver, but as the engineer that installed mine explained, they're literally jumping from job to job trying to keep up with TiVo demand.
The main reason you need an engineer in the first place appears to be that when the TiVo is first connected it's not actually ready to use. I recall him setting up frequencies and a few other things on a dark blue technical screen with white text. Wish I'd paid a little more attention so I could do it myself when the household wants a couple more TiVos, assuming it doesn't require that palm pilot thing the engineers carry... looked like he was using the TiVo remote for most of it.
As for some TV manufacturers making it difficult to see calibration settings, well, shame on them. It should be easy to get to 1:1 pixel mode without going through menus... on my Samsung it's merely a case of pressing the aspect ratio button a few times until Screen Fit ◄▲▼► Move is shown.
