I've asked this question before, but perhaps not on this forum.
I have long noticed that the HD video from my Diamond 9000 didn't quite fit on the screen, ie the picture is missing a bit at the left, top, and right. The bottom seems OK. I've posted about this before, but people didn't see any problem with the video, but I thought perhaps there wasn't a good way to tell.
Well I was just scanning through the AMC-21 PBS feeds, and came across the "Schedule HD03" test pattern on 12180V, and it occurred to me that this is a good picture to compare.
The actual test pattern has a vertical yellow bar at the far left bottom, and a blue vertical bar at the far right bottom. THese bars should be just as wide as the bluish and redish bars next to them, however my Diamond displays them cut off so that I can only see about 1/2 of the width of these bars. Also, the "Schedule HD03" text at the top should be a full space down from the top, a space about equal to the height of the letters, however my Diamond displays this text almost touching the top of the screen, a space of about 1/3 the thickness of the lines of the lettering, let alone the height of the letters.
Anyway, for anyone with a Diamond 9000, I'd be curious with respect to what you see on this test pattern? Mainly curious if this is just an issue with my receiver, and issue with receivers that have that bad hacker firmware, or an issue with all Diamond 9000s.
Thanks
