1080i output

  • I have an RPi4 that I have been struggling with for some time. My TV is 1080i. I'm running Raspian currently.

    I can boot into the Pi and manually set it to 1080i but then I can't do anything about the overscan. Weeks of trying have left me frustrated. Raspian has its own config tools that make it difficult to use normal Linux configuration advice yet are apparently not adequate to let me output a perfectly normal TV signal to my TV.

    I recently learned of LibreElec which seems geared to doing exactly what I want my Pi to do - serve as a SmartTV controller. However, before I give it a try, I'd like to know if it is any better at outputting 1080i than Raspian.

    Thanks for any advice you can provide.
