 If you're using S/PDIF for sound MythTV sound controls may well not
 work. I have to adjust the sound on my receiver - MythTV controls have
 no effect. I think it may vary from sound card to sound card as I've
 reaqd posts that some Sound Blaster cards do allow you to control it
 from MythTV.

 Volume control within Myth when using digital sound should work with any
 soundcard as long as Myth is not doing a passthrough.  I.e. if the
 channel does not contain an AC3 stream, volume control should work.

Not sure you're correct there - I don't have the tickbox checked for
Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough (so I assume Myth is not doing a
passthrough) and yet I can only control the volume via the receiver.

It bugged me a bit but I soon got over it and the family got used to it.

That being said, doing software volume control with digital sound is 
the wrong solution, anyway.  You should use the A/V receiver to which 
you're sending the digital sound to do the volume control.

On a PVR-350 output you will always have overscan and I believe that it
cannot be adjusted (might be wrong) however you can change your gui
size in the mythfrontend setup. It will take alittle bit of time
and having to traverse menus many times but you can get it pixel
perfect and it looks great.
>From the main menu goto
Utilities/Setup-Setup-Appearance-Screen Settings(it is the
second page in). On that page you can adjust your screen size and
offset
