I have an ATV2 (running 4.2.1 at the moment) with a 1080P Plasma (Panasonic VT20) and a Panasonic AX200E (720p) projector.
My amp is an Onkyo SR608 and the ATV is connected to the amp. The Amp is doing a 720 -> 1080 conversion internally, and is outputting to an HDMI splitter feeding both the TV and the projector.
My issue is that with the ATV2 and XBMC, on the Plasma screen, there's a heap (maybe 3-4%) of overscan and I am missing the scrolling menus, time etc. On the Projector, it's pixel perfect.
I can of course in XBMC calibrate to make it fit the TV, but then it's underscanning on the projector. Very annoying.
I have confirmed the amp is outputting 1080p to both the TV and projector (both have status displays that indicate the input type) and I have tried passthrough as well.
Does anyone else have the problem? Or more importantly, does anyone know how I could fix this? Or even where the problem is most likely to lie?
