Just had to do it as, somehow overscan had got re-enabled by some random idiot (me, presumably
).Panasonic OLED.

Noticed when I was retuning the TV and HDR-T2 for the D3&4 changes and a bottom caption was cut off.Oops, where did that bit of my picture disappear to?
I blame the BBC for not transmitting the Test Card any more.

I don't understand this. I use "16:9" screen settings on the TV, as opposed to "Screen Fit" AKA "1:1" or "Pixel" (etc), which is the modern equivalent of overscan. Overscan was a technique in analogue broadcasting and CRT TVs to clean up the left and right edges of the picture (which would be ragged) and avoid displaying the non-picture frame lines at the top and bottom (they got used for Teletext data).
It used to be the case, although I haven't checked lately, that even with digital broadcasting the left and right edges were badly defined. On something like BBC Breakfast, which switches between multiple video sources, displaying it 1:1 resulted in the picture width jumping (but within the old overscan margin). Having the screen set to 16:9 (ie only displaying the non-overscan central area, with a few percent missing beyond the edges of the physical screen) avoids that width variation.
I have not noticed any captions going missing. Is that on start-up services that might not understand the broadcasting etiquette by any chance? They really should keep the critical content within the non-overscan area.
The screen 1:1 setting is for display use rather than broadcast TV, by which I mean as a computer monitor or perhaps DVD/Blu-ray.

I haven't got a TV that allows me to fiddle with the picture size to get it how I want it. That, and the missing Test Card, means I have to put up with bits cut off all over the place. Having said that, some channels - yes you Sky News - don't broadcast the whole picture on Freeview anyway.I blame the BBC for not transmitting the Test Card any more.

The right hand edge of text on the strap often goes missing on Sky News.

I have got some recordings of the HD test card somewhere - I must look them out, although they might be on my redundant T2 come to think of it
