First, check the video setting under System/Settings/System/Video Output (with Settings Level = Advanced)...here you should be able to set the video resolutions and calibrate the display to fit the screen.

Finally, if no joy, check the XBIAN config video settings...

to do this, I use putty.exe to ssh to the Rpi2 - login as xbian and whatever pwd (default raspberry) - this should auto-open the config util. Select the following options from the menus:

1. Settings
1. System
5. Video Output

..and then 'adjust' the setting - not sure exactly what you need to select, but some tinkering here should/may help get the correct display size.

If you cannot access this way, then it looks like you can use the xbian interface if the Advance Mode is selected under System/Settings/Xbian/Preferences - this then reveals the same video options under System/Settings/Xbian/System.

Failing that ???? dunno!

Thanks. I am using HDMI. When you first mentioned the settings, were you referring to the XBMC settings? I'll try Putty. Hopefully, I'll remember how to use it.

The Kodi GUI is exactly what I was referring to in my original post. I have not tried to boot to any other interface.

The first bit I mentioned is via the kodi screen on the tv (if you can see it!)...lots of setting to tinker with there...mainly the screen resolution.

Using putty will only get to the xbian config file (I think) and may only set the display channel route...
