Dual monitor problem

I have a TV which I'm using as a second monitor.
It is set up as a completely separate X screen, not "TwinView".
Everything works perfectly except when I expand windows or run programs in fullscreen, the top, left, right and bottom of the screen is cut off a little bit.
It is just enough to make it useless for anything fullscreen.

Does anyone know how I can over come this?
Here is my xorg.conf

Changing the TVOverScan option doesn't seem to make a difference
