I got my TV config to work fine with watching and recording TV but on some of the channels there is a black bar at the top with static going through it. It is tiny and I can ignore for now, but I would really like to see it go. I have looked around on the forums and havent seen anything about this at all. If anyone knows what is going on with my MP, if it is the codecs or something? I dont really know. Any help would be apreciated.

Without a screenshot hard to tell with 100% accuracy, but most likely its garbage that your broadcaster is sending. You can adjust crop settings (live tv context menu) to cut few lines off the video area.

Hey thanks a lot man! The cropping did the trick for me. It looks perfect now. I love not having to ignore little things like those scan lines. Again thanks.
