Poor screen fit for live TV

  Windows Media Center (Vista Ultimate) is cutting off the top and bottom of
our picture.  Unfortunately, we don't see any adjustments that help rectify
this problem.  Does anyone have a recommendation for correcting this
problem?

 Watching on TV?

 I am assuming you are watching on a TV and not a computer monitor.  If you
are just on the Vista desktop (MC not loaded) is part of your desktop also
cutoff?  If yes then you need to make the adjustment in your video cards
configuration application for NVidia or ATI you can find this in the control
panel.  This will allow you to fit your desktop to the TV you are using.  
Once done Media Center will appear correctly.
