There is a tv firmware update available T-VALDEUC-3018.1, dated 13th august 2013, but probably not worth the risk.
Have you another tv you could try/borrow?

I cant say if it will fix the overscan problem but it has fixed a lot of picture quality issues ive found in 4.2...Originally Posted by champs4life
Do a back up like advised and then try the first release of 4.1....youve got nothing to lose.
Afraid not. This is my main TV
I am not at all technical when it comes to anything tech/gadget related. I always screw up big time if I try like has happened here.
Its not just picture quality issues.
Its the cropping of the picture and menus and with overscan not staying off permanently which is worrying me.
Not sure going down to 4.1 or 3.1 image will solve this issue.
As still dont know if my box or TV is the problem.
It must be the TV that is the problem - the receiver cannot turn overscan on/off on your tv
Zgemma H7S running OpenVIX 6.2, Darkmotor, Triax TD110 dish, Inverto Black Ultra dual lnb
LG 50UM7450 4K TV, Pioneer VSX-534 Atmos AVR , Panasonic UB820 region free 4K Bluray & a PS4.
So ruled out box and even image as the problem then.
If it really is the TV then I dont get it. on the apollo image I was on before there was no sign of loss of picture quality, cropping of menus and picture.
I just have not got the funds to waste on a new TV.
Im affraid to say your only option is to bite the bullet and start eliminating possible causes.
The first 1 i would rule out is the image, if you wasnt having this problem with a previous version..its the quickest and easiest of them all.
If that dont solve it then try your box on a tv at a family members or friends house... if you havnt got access to a 2nd tv of your own.
And maybe borrow a set top box off somebody to try on your tv to see if it still does the same thing.
Untill you start trying to eliminate possible causes you will never know.

Even after downgrading to image 4.1 still have poor picture quality, menus and pictures being cut off because overscan doesn't stay off. This is still the case despite setting to screen fit before I reflashed the box.
So that's it there is no fix. I am doomed with crap picture and not everything showing.
I don't know how the geniuses and smart people have it all going right. I can't take this anymore. Been too stressed and health wise I'm not supposed to be stressed.
Found this, not sure if it will help but anything is worth a try.
And mate....dont let this effect your health.....I connect my satellite STB to the HDMI input of my Samsung TV. Due to overscan, The TV annoyingly puts part of the image outside the visible screen, even though the resolution is correctly set to 1080p. Here is a solution:
Press Source on your remote
Move down to your HDMI source and press Tools
Select Edit name and Scroll down to satelliteSTB and select that one
Your screen goes blank for a second – and mission accomplished: the overscan is disabled.
If selecting satelliteSTB does not work try selecting PC.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately tried something similar to that and overscan just keeps turning on itself as usual.
I wish I could get something right. I dont want my health to get worse just because of something so trivial like this but I cant help it.
Seems that this solution from 2011 is still usefulHave you tried renaming the HDMI port on the TV? Read all replies in the post as the method for newer Samsung models changed.HTML Code:http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/8905-How-to-Disable-overscan-on-a-Samsung-quot-SMART-quot-tv-solved

In what way do you mean by similar? Have you tried renaming the HDMI on your tv?
Renaming the HDMI on my tv disables overscan if i rename it to PC.
All the others do nothing.

Ye I edited the name of the HDMI to satelliteSTB and still overscan wasnt off as still had cut off menus and picture.
Its very odd this method works for some and not others.
I still dont understand why selecting "screen fit" just doesnt disable overscan
My HDMI input is showing 24HZ shouldnt this be 50HZ or 60HZ as I am sure that is what it was previously.
I have also noticed since reflashing the picture is moving, its jittery. Not smooth at all compared to before flashing. Its so hard to watch.
Not sure if anyone knows what I mean.
But again could box/TV/image all be the cause?
The box seems so laggy and slow. Never had this before.
I have tried EVERYTHING suggested here and I am still no where and I am so sick and tired. I havent got the energy to continue with this.
I do appreciate the helpful replies. Thank you.

Did you try changing it to PC aswell? Editing the name to satelliteSTB does nothing on my tv either....but if i choose PC from the drop down list overscan gets disabled.
