I agree a very large overscan, possibly to late to contact LG as the TV is about 5-6 years old now. I only spotted the problem when the DOGS were finally put in the corner.
I thought the Test Card jpeg looked just as bad, must be an old pic as the DOG is now in a different position.

So I presume you don't get this problem with more modern TV's, or if you do you can adjust it.
Most afaik allow you to choose full pixel, which can sometimes reveal noise on the outer picture edge. It seems to appear most on SD outside news clips, presumably down to the camcorder used and a selection of overscan settings of a few pixels or so.

The test card isn't a photograph it's an actual frame grabbed from a 1440 x 1920 recording scaled to 1920 x 1080 by the media player used to grab it. There's a losslessly compressed .png version on the same file share site.

@IQ1: measure your TV. It might by 15x9 rather than 16x9.

The cropping top and bottom is typical - the cropping at the sides is extraordinary.

Cheers,
David.

Had the same problem as IQ1 with the B missing on the left and Press....(RED) on the right. The Sagem arrived, picture fits the screen perfectly but is noisy, buzzing all the time. Now what Will wait and think about it or wait 'till dso and trust my PVR.

Measured it at roughly 93 x 52.5 which is 16 x 9.

It might be old but I'm going to contact LG anyway.

I tried it with a old Sky box and it was the same. Oddly PIP shows slightly more of the picture.
