Normal broadcast video is always sending more information (VBI) in the broadcast (EIA-608, Line 21 Captions, Teletext, etc.) and therefore it is not normal to display everything. If you are outputting from your computer though, you are not sending this extra data, so therefore you should disable the cropping and set it to "Full Pixel" mode (which means, say you are a monitor, not HDTV) or adjust on the PC. Almost all TV's are setup to assume overscan by default, as that is still the most common case.
So to fix this, you need to ensure that the computer doesn't think it is sending a signal to an HDTV set, as that causes it to send data assuming an overscan. There are methods to override the TV, by adjusting the registry settings for the Nvidia drivers. Here is some more data on this topic. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=58483&view=findpost&p=33...
you also have to keep in mind that many DVDs, broadcasts and other signals send non-square pixels (PAR != 1:1), which is another variable that needs to be considered when viewing on your HDTV. I think long term all this will go away, but most of this is related to transitioning from non-digital to the progressive, square pixel digital world.
