press yellow, 7, 2 then make the necesary adjustments so the guide fits your screen.

i already tried that then it makes eveything else out of line

Same problem here. I tried to adjust the screen but it throws the other side out.

I had the same issue but using the screen adjustment worked for me. What kind of TV do you have? Is it an older tube TV?

Use the minus "-" button to make the screen smaller.

I had to put my TV on "screen fit" to get the guide to fit properly.

One thing is I wish is that the increments the screen moves and increases and decreases in size would be about half of what they are now. It would allow for more precise adjustment.

Make sure your TV is not in one of it's zoom modes.

Your TV should be set to Normal and the Hopper to 1080I. If it still doesn't fit, press the Format button until it says Normal...

Thank you that worked pushed minus once guide fits perfect now.

The format button has no affect on guide or menu screens.

I had to do the same on all four of my TVs to make the guide fit perfectly. It's a pretty simple fix.

Unless he's referring to the TV's format button. He kinda mixed the two options together (I presume you're responding to Bobby).

 

[Bobby]

I know that the format button doesn't affect the guide or menu screens. I just wanted to be sure that the OP had all the rest set up correctly. Obviously he did, and he's fixed his issue with the minus button as gdarwin suggested. Funny thing is, I can't find a minus button on the Dish remote! I use a Harmony so I keep my Dish remote stored away. I pulled it out and I just don't see it. I do see a minus on the volume but that just lowers the volume.

It's the minus button that appears in the on screen TV size adjustment menu.

Thank you lucky! I thought I was going crazy!

The "Screen Fit" option poster earlier really is the best fix. It seems all the HDTV's sold today are set for over-scan mode out of the box. This is NOT the best PQ your HDTV is capable of displaying and can look surprisingly inferior to how it should be set because the overscan is like a zoom effect.

Ideally, the user should set their HDTV to display FULL PIXEL. You want your display to show every pixel possible in the program content and on your screen. This can be done using the HDTV menus and while on same brands it is labeled FULL PIXEL, some have it labeled "Screen Fit" or some other similar term. The Dish guide will fit properly on this setting because the HDTV is now displaying on a pixel per pixel match, and will show the ENTIRE picture/information as inteded. This is the best PQ possible and make a fair difference the slightly zoomed over-scan mode. However, on this setting one may see the data lines at the top of the screen for some commercials in SD, but that is a good compromise as I don't watch SD commercials.

If you have a calibration disk like Spears & Munsil or Disney WOW, they can show that quite a few pixels are not being displayed on your HDTV in over-scan mode and you are NOT getting the FULL picture as intended.

I would reserve the Dish menu screen fit option for display that are not capable of pixel for pixel match and only display an over-scan image.

I claim this is a mistake by the channel provider, and there should be no such option as "overscan" for a digital TV. They (the channel provider) are converting the entire 525 line analog presentation into 480 digital, rather than just taking the picture portion which is already 480 scan lines IIRC.
