Help

I was adjusting the over scan so the menus would look correct on my TV I am using a pvr 350 I have now gone to far I do not have any menus on my PC screen or my TV all I have is a blue background how do I get it back to the point where I was before I started. I hope the answer is not a reinstall.

[reboot_this]

close sagetv down completely (do not just put sagetv to sleep!)...

Back up both sage.properties and the sageclient.properties files


go into your sage.properties or sageclient.properties file (with notepad or any text editor) which file you'll be looking for will depend on if your using the sagetv server or the sagetv client....


You'll be looking for "videoframe/aspect_ratio_mode..." entries...

Change all the "videoframe/aspect_ratio_mode/video_translate_x=..." to 0 (the numeral 0 not the letter O)

Change all the "videoframe/aspect_ratio_mode/video_translate_y=..." to 0 (the numeral 0 not the letter O)

Change all the "videoframe/aspect_ratio_mode/0/video_zoom_x=..." to 1.0

Change all the "videoframe/aspect_ratio_mode/0/video_zoom_y=..." to 1.0

then start sagetv... the above steps will get you back to the default installation settings.

Hope this helps

Actually, you want these:
ui/ui_overscan_correction_offset_x=0
ui/ui_overscan_correction_offset_y=0
ui/ui_overscan_correction_perct_height=1.0
ui/ui_overscan_correction_perct_width=1.0

Thank You, Thank You,. and again Thank you Stanger89.

This fixed my mistake. The great response you get from this forum is the reason I choose Sage TV.
