There is no way to adjust the MDP image... so you may want to get its picture centered correctly (using controls on your display... which may mean accessing some hidden menu) and THEN adjust your desktop so that it is also displaying correctly

Aw geez. This is really bad news.
I can only adjust the H-pos on the monitor through the service menu, and if I do that, all my other (stb) 1080i sources are going to be shifted to the right.
I'm a bit suspicious of the RCA transcoder. I seem to recall the DTC-100 put out some non-standard timing, so I wonder if it's trying to compensate for a non-existent (in my equipment) right-shift. (I thought the adjust on it would allow me to correct any such goofiness, but maybe not completely.)
Maybe I should try a key digital or audio authority transcoder before giving in to despair.
Do you think that would have an effect?

I believe there are two dongles... and one of them should work with your card (the same one that is said to work with my 9600).
I have no experience with dongles, as I am fortunate to live in the RGBHV/RGBs colorspace

Arrrrgh. Looks like I'll find out. The VGA version of the ATI dongle arrived today.
Unfortunately, it _doesn't_ work on the 9800
They want you to use the DVI dongle, which then has no way to hook up to the MyHD card.
So it looks like I'll have to use a transcoder after all.
I'll just be over there (points) thudding my head into the floor for awhile....
Just nutz.

Well, so much for that.
The Key Digital transcoder arrive, and when I setup my desktop to 1080i with PS, Fusion works like a champ. had a sync issue, until I flipped a switch that's supposed to be a compatibility fix for Panny CRT monitor and the RCA settop box, but it centers/syncs my desktop right up.
However, when the MDP-120 brings up its overlay, it's got some kind of sync issues. It wobbles, I see a video "echo" effect, and sometimes it looks like the scanlnes are starting in the middle of the screen, and wrapping all the way around, leaving a black bar in the middle of the screen. It seems a bit content dependent. Sometimes I even have a clear crisp picture.
With the ATI VGA dongle, and the MDP switched to y/Pr/Pb, it syncs great, but of course I can't see the funsion display or desktop. (thud, thud, thud ... )
Looked around for info on ScanSetup.exe, to see if that would help, and I found nothing. Why would you want over _and_ underscan for the same side?
Willing to try other experiments, if anyone has any ideas.

For closure's sake, I thought I'd post my solution here, just in case it makes it a bit easier for the next foo^h^h^hperson that tries this.
I finally broke out my soldering iron, and made a couple of cables, one from 3 male RCA connectors to a female VGA connector, and one from a male VGA to 3 female RCA connectors, so I'm now wired thusly:
9800 XT DVI--> ATI DVI Dongle -->3 Male RCA->female VGA --> MyHD Cable in from Graphics card->MyHD Cable out to TV --> male VGA->3 Female RCA --> Standard Component cable to TV.
It's ugly, but with the ATI card putting out Y/Pr/Pb because of the dongle, and the MyHD cards set to put out Y/Pr/Pb in HD mode, it does indeed work.
Thanks for all the suggestions, it's always good to have moral support.
