PVR150 overscan?

I've ended up with a sky UHF box for a couple of weeks so I thought
I'd hook it up to a pvr150 I had lying around

It works fine but there is a visible gray static line on the right hand side.

I guess this is cut off by overscan on a normal TV.

Anybody know of a way to trim the recording as it comes in?

btw yes I know pressing W will change the fill screen I want to fix
the actual recording :)

Cheers

The PVR-150 has hardware MPEG-2 encoding, so there is no way to do
editing like that unless the card itself supports it, and I have seen
no sign that it does on my PVR-500s (dual PVR-150s).

I would not waste time on a Sky UHF box. Their UHF transmitters are
all being shut down - the one at Wharite goes on 31-Oct-09.

From http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/V4l2-ctl
--set-crop-video=top=<x>,left=<y>,width=<w>,height=<h>
set the video capture crop window [VIDIOC_S_CROP]

Was giving me hope it was possible but it dosn't seem to do anything

Like I said I only have it for a couple of weeks, I'm just playing
with the thing really, the quality is not flash compared to freeview
