This persists across channels. This is only visible when the HDMI setting on the TV is set to Screen Fit, i.e. 0% overscan, so it occurs to me this bug wasn't discovered because whoever codes/tests the firmware had their TVs overscanned at least slightly. It disappears only when the unit is hard rebooted, i.e. switched off via the back panel not standby with the remote. Simply turning off the subtitles doesn't banish it.

Here's a few pictures of my 32" Samsung LCD TV demonstrating the bug.

Sorry but why do you choose the fit to screen option on your Samsung HDTV? I do believe that by using this setting you'll notice a lot of odd errors displayed on the edge of the screen that usually would go unseen. I tried the setting some time ago and noticed all sorts of crap when watching the BBC's news channel. I also have a Samsung HDTV although mines a 42 inch plasma.
