MythTV requires some skill, knowledge and persistence to set up - but it's
well worth it!

Work your way through this guide to help you understand and set up the
channels:

...and a recent thread here in the topic:

Your TV is probably cutting the edges off because it's currently set up to
'overscan' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan). Find that setting and
disable it for the input you are using for your PC. Problem should be
solved (assuming your TV is properly capable of 1:1 pixel mapping).
