I'm not sure I completely understand what you're describing, it would be nice to have a screenshot.

It sounds like what's happening is the UITableView is the size of the screen and the banner is overlapping the bottom 50 pixels of it. All UIView children have a frame, bounds, and center properties they inherit from their common UIView parent.

@interface UIView(UIViewGeometry)

// animatable. do not use frame if view is transformed since it will not correctly reflect the actual location of the view. use bounds + center instead.
@property(nonatomic) CGRect            frame;

// use bounds/center and not frame if non-identity transform. if bounds dimension is odd, center may be have fractional part
@property(nonatomic) CGRect            bounds;      // default bounds is zero origin, frame size. animatable
@property(nonatomic) CGPoint           center;      // center is center of frame. animatable
@property(nonatomic) CGAffineTransform transform;   // default is CGAffineTransformIdentity. animatable
// ... from UIView.h

You can manipulate these properties as you like, it sounds like you simply need to adjust the bounds to be 50 pixels smaller than the screen, and do some math to calculate your new center.
