Thank you for your reply!
I wish I could, I only have limited access to the TV's menu's. I got this TV for free from my bro when I moved here last December, but he lost the remote so I had to buy a universal remote. The TV is expecting 4 color buttons for example, which the universal remote doesn't have. I can get to the main menu, switch channels and put the volume up and down and that's it.
I found a workaround though, if I boot into the XBMCbuntu session, set overscan to 11 with nvidia-settings and then run XBMC from the start menu in that session it works (though then I get regular linux popups if I put in a USB stick for exaple, which puts XBMC out of focus). Still, I'd rather have the real XBMC session use the same overscan, so I could boot it off the bat rather then 1st having to login XBMCbuntu n then running XBMC from there.
But as I said, if I use the overscan function in XBMC all it'll do is "pull it under" the black borders instead of use them, while with nvidia-settings overscan it works fine.
Any help or ideas on how to get the XBMC session to have the same overscan als my XBMCbuntu session 'd be greatly appreciated, it's the only thing now keeping me from fully enjoying new setup.
