Tried this last night and very nice it was too - but I noticed that the
small BBC logon was slightly off-screen so all I saw was "BC". Anyone else
seen this with iPlayer? Seems odd since presumably the picture is the
"perfect size" of a digital TV (or perhaps it's not!).

BTW HDMI connection to the TV.

P.S. a very discreet logo - if only the off-air logos were like that :-(.

Your TV must apply more overscan than the BBC expects.

It's fully visible on Samsung TVs using their built-in iPlayer
implementation.

Cheers,

Should that not be the production company making the shows for the BBC
or Red Bee Media?

If David Hunt is successful in applying the policies of the coalition
government of national salvation, probably the only TV shows that the
BBC will produce its-self in future will be national and regional news
and political shows, because anything else prevents a private company
from making a profit on producing such a show.

David Hunt makes very attractive luminaires (or as I would call them -
lights).

That would be a different one to the one I was misadvertently naming --
Baron Hunt, former Conservative and Unionist Party Westminster MP and
former Secretary of State for Employment and for Wales, who has been
named chairman of Press Complaints Commission under the "Jobs For the Boys"
scheme being implemented by the current administration.

Well at least it rhymes with something appropriately rude I suppose...

Why on earth would a digital TV apply overscan?

I'll check tonight to see if it's something I can remove.

Because a surprising number of transmitted programs have weird
black-and-white bits top and bottom.

Personally I'd much rather live with them, and enjoy a 1:1 pixel
mapping, than make the TV scale the picture so it's non-native to the
screen.

Look for an "Exact Scan" or similar mode under the aspect ratio
selection. As much as I like the idea of zero overscan and therefore no
rcaling, I generally apply a 1 or 2% zoom to my HTPC as I find junk
around the edges rather distracting.

The junk takes a few forms, visible timecodes at the top, pixels without
chroma at the sides, soft rather than crisp edges, or borders where a
vision mixer doesn't fully overlay one source with another one, leaving
one or two pixels of green or blue or unrelated video peeping out at the
edges.

The occasional boom mic in shot or lens vignetting is a bonus :-)

Thanks - I found the "overscan on/off" last night and was surprised to find,
as Steve had hinted, that without overscan, the edges of the picture were a
"slightly ripply, not using all the pixels".

I wonder if, once analogue is switched off, whether we will slowly move
forward to zero overscan, perhaps with a "trail period" for possible
complaints like we had when (if memory serves) a few more lines were added
to the old Ceefax system.

So, I know where the setting is now - pity it's buried in the depths of the
menu settings :-(.
