On many 1920x1080 and 3840x1920 panels you can only inhibit overscan on 1080i/p and 2160p sources, though it is usually enabled by default.
720p, 576i/p and 480i/p are usually overscanned, and whilst you can vary the degree of overscan, you can often not defeat it.
Many STBs will offer a 576i to 1080p upscale which will allow you to watch 576i sources without overscan - though Sky boxes annoyingly don't properly handle 4:3 576i sources if you upscale (other boxes usually offer a pillarbox option) so this isn't a great option.
