From this screen shot it looks like you have some pretty severe Horizontal linearity issues on the left side of the screen.

The "through the scope" shot here should be perfectly round, it's egg shaped with the point to the left of the screen, I also noticed all the credits were cut off on that side too.

As has been mentioned, it may just be a shortcoming of the sets design.

Is it adjustable so the stretch is equal on both sides? If you can do that you may then be able to reduce the width to bring it into a circle.

Oddly enough it doesn't look as bad with the test pattern.

Yeah, the test pattern display was what threw me off too.

Here are a couple of pics with another TV next to it. I just used clip leads to connect the antenna inputs together. The other TV is a non-HD 9" RCA.

Well guys, I found the problem with the over scan using the converter for OTA programs. It was the zoom feature. I looked for the zoom feature in the instruction manual, but no mention of the word zoom. But I did find out how the "Picture Format" button works. One thing though, it works real well on other channels, but is very sporadic on MeTV!

With the format in "normal" I have black bars along the bottom and top of the picture. I'll but my video generator on it and adjust the linearity and I'll be done.

Thanks for hanging with me and all your suggestions.
