@mitu thanks ill give that a try, and ill let you know if it works!

@dankcushions Thank you that did the trick, I uncommented the #disable_overscan=1

This inexpensive device capture card is what I used.

Apologies.

Changing it to 1080p 50hz (am in the UK) and disabling overscan worked.

Thanks!

Which config file. You've not provided much info. Please post details of what you edited in which files and post the configs via a pastebin site. And give details of setup as detailed in first link.

I'd like to fully admit I'm a moron...
The cord wasn't fully plugged in which is why my recording device and etc were having issue detecting the raspberry pi..

I am so so so sorry for wasting your time.
