    And to check the amount of overscan your TV is set to, you can display the attached pictures. They tell you exact how bad (or good) your telly is.

    Double click on the images then right click and save as. Then Either load it to your Movie folder on the receiver and view it via the media player or if the TV it self has a USB port load it to a USB stick / HDD and play it via the TV's own media player.

    I have included some more test cards in the archive uploaded o this post for you to try.

    excellent, so your OSD menus from a standard install of the ViX image wont need adjusting, Those who do have overscan activated however will need to either turn it off or adjust their OSD settings.
