    my setup is pc in 1 corner, then xbox 360 and 32inch crt in other corner of the sitting room

    I finally got nearly everything working again

    took me a few days to get
    mce installed, all updates, the stations and guide back, the series recording setup again, s3 suspend, wake on lan, utorrent and port forwarding, network shares, increase skip and replay size

    gonna make a back up when i have it perfect :o


    one last problem, when watching tv3's morning show the ticker is off screen, i tried every zoom setting on the extender and on the tv, but no joy, never happened with the old mce install through the extender

    any "Load hive" registry hacks to move the picture up about half an inch

    Get a copy of acronis true image. You can create a hidden parition and more importantly make incremental images. Its probably best to make a couple of images BEFORE you have it perfected, just in case the "perfection" process breaks somthing.

    Of course you can use an external drive too. You probably already have separate partitions or drives for your media. If not this is handy too. Depending on the games/emulators you have, you could install them on a separate partition too, saving you a reinstall of them when you refresh your OS, of course the shortcuts would need to be recreated.

    im guessing your problem is with "overscanning"
    check in the drivers for the graphics card to move the image output about.

    the other possibility is that the zoom isnt on properly, press "i" on the remote while the tv is playing and then "zoom"

    thanks souper
    i have 2 sata 150 drives, (had problems fastforwarding on the extender when i only had 1) 40gb os and 300gb recorded tv and pagefile

    the old mce is on the 300, so i can boot that and use it to image the 40 to an image file on the 300gb :cool:


    subway, i didnt touch them settings yet, are you sure they will effect the screen position on the extender, yeah i tried all the zoom settings on the extender and the tv, oh wait didnt look at the 360's dashboard settings :o

    on the extender, no, the pc settigns wont change anything.
    sorry i missed that from your post.

    soemthing to remember with the xbox 360 and crts, is that the image is always overscanned on a crt.
    if you cant adjust overscan on the xbox you may be stuck with it.
