Comment:

 I suspect Teletext subtitles are actually being resized to fit a
 widescreen display. Perhaps this is occurring in the same way that the OSD
 is automatically resized to fit widescreens.

 Originally, Teletext pages were designed to fit on a normal-sized
 TV/monitor with 4:3 aspect ratio. In MythTV, when using a widescreen TV,
 Teletext is resized to fit across the whole width of the screen.
 Sometimes, this makes subtitles harder to read, because the eye needs to
 look across the whole width of the screen.

 I can understand that some people would want larger subtitles. I find
 subtitles at the edges of the screen distracting.

 Perhaps there can be an option to leave the Teletext pages as 4:3 aspect
 ratio, even on widescreens?

 Cheerio, David.
