If you want to genlock your graphics over live video you HAVE to have overscan, as otherwise you can't even cover up the entire video signal if you need to. Yes, overscan is most definitely a show-stopper in Desktop Video. Another advantage of desktop video is quick turnaround, which you don't get when you have to go to film. When they say "film at eleven" they are usually in the back room editing it together at that moment, and don't have time to send their titling overlays out to have the film processed.
