Magic-(E)HD skin

[Alanp]

Hi a quick question about the Magic-(E)HD skin when I press the menu button I loose the edge of the skin as if the image is too big to be displayed, The loss is on every side about 25mm all round. I have adjusted the overscan in the VIX settings to 20 from the default 40 but this made no difference at all any help appreciated as I really like this skin Thanks

is that not the full hd version? is your t.v 1080p?

 

[Alanp]

Yes 1080p 50 inch plasma panosonic

I find this too, as with the 'lite' version. I think the 'overscan' setting in the ViX menu only works for the skin which is on by default when you flash with a ViX image. I forget the name of it right now, but I never use it.

Tried this yesterday and its a good skin but after going back to vixHD my box kept freezing. Uninstalled it and box was ok

Anyone know why this happens

OK guys, two things:

1- The Magic-HD-ViX GS is solved by using an updated version of the Magic-HD-common folder. See the other post about that.

2- If you are missing the edge of a skin, your TV is set to "overscan", as most, if not all, modern TV's still are.
The skins Magic-HD(lite)(ViX) allow for an overscan of 5.5%; the skins Magic-EHD(lite) use the full screen.

If you really want to enjoy real-HD-TV (and not a 95% re-rendered picture), make sure your telly is not set to overscan. Search the (maintenance) menu or Google: very often all kinds of fancy names are used.

You can use the attached pictures to see how much picture your set looses. Make sure to use a skin that does not prevent the pictureplayer from going full screen (the magic-HD's are fine).
