I have a strange idea, maybe you could burn a DVD with a testcard image on it and then adjust it?
Best overscan would be 5% for left and right and 3% or 4% for the bottom and top.
If you overscan by a different amount vertically to horizontally then you'll end up with the wrong geometry on your picture! You'd be badly advised to try and adjust overscan just because of this BBC News 24 issue, since they have clearly got it wrong and admitted as much!
It's not just about News 24 but in general, less overscan the better.

Unfortunately, half the reason (with modern CRTs, at least) is that the overscan areas are designed to be viewed that way.
In other words, a chicken-and-egg problem has developed. HDTV standards do specify much lower amounts, but the fact that a lot of HDTV channels are simulcast in one or more SDTV standard channels, means that it's going to be tough to get away from, outside the world of webcast-only viewing.

As I think I mentioned a few pages back, the traditional picture safe area is less 10% of the full image, and graphics safe is a further 10% of the remainder (or thereabouts). Now clearly, as time and displays move on, rules can be broken but the recent discussion about who can see what and which displays can see tickers and clocks only goes to support the idea that safe areas are there for a reason.

Hoe can you say that that opening is better than sky?. The globe lookds so fake, and its even got the same kind of lines going around the globe - a complete rip-off. I guess it's each to their own though.
How could Sky claim use a lot of very redundant, commonly used imagery and then lay claim to it as there own? Yes, the new News24 title sequence does bear a lot of similarity to the old sky ones but after using globes, datastreams, clocks etc theres not much left that screams news channel to the viewer.

I liked the old Sky News with the globe and this new look very much reminded me of it. I like the new look, but I can't help but think about Coke Cola as it's the same colours used.
Does everything red remind you of coca cola? With that being the established brand colour it would be pretty foolish for them to make it blue
Father christmas always reminds me of coca cola maybe there could be a speacial xmas version of the new titles with him flying around the globe.

BBC World and BBC News 24 obviously aren't talking to each other anymore:

Someone played out the wrong announcement from BBC One into N24 last night. "...join BBC News 24 with World Business Report" Cue the new N24 titles (exactly the same by the way, no variation there either) and into the titles of...."Sport Today". Oops.
And I thought Sport Today was only a World programme?
