Did you tried the "Zoom Mode" or "Stretch Mode" instead of "Normal Mode".
I can confirm this problem on my PVR-500 system. No matter what I do the black border wont go away.

Hi,
This is definitely a hardware/driver issue. I've always had this small black borders with my Hauppauge PVR-150MCE and now with my PVR500MCE as well. The original WinTV app doesn't expose this behaviour, probably because the app itself overscans the TV picture.
AFAIK the only thing you can do about it is to try to use ffdshow post-processing with TV and crop the picture. I've always had trouble with ffdshow so eventually I stopped trying. One thing I did notice was that the DScaler codec somehow does overscan the picture a bit, so with that codec the problem is less apparent.
Kind regards,
Michel

So, you're power cycling the TV, but not putting the PC to sleep ?
In General => Startup/Resume settings, try checking "Ignore Windows resolution/size changes"
In Codecs and Render, try selecting the specific audio device rather than "Default DirectSound device"
Just ideas, no guarantee this will do anything.

Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :(
MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...
