 Had a hard drive fail, so I re-built my mythbuntu box from the 8.10
 default cd. All back end features are working as I would expect, however
 playback of either a recording or live tv gives me a display that uses the
 center third of the screen only.

 The appearance is as if the recording was 480x480, and the playback was
 letterboxed to 720x480.

 Adjusting the recording profile for the PVR-x50 cards does not affect
 playback of live tv or recordings on this front end.

 The recordings appear to be being captured correctly. When I play them
 back on other front ends, the display is correct.

 The front end I am using does this with all tuner sources, including
 analog cable (pvr-250, hvr-1600 analog side) digital OTA (hvr-1600 digital
 side and hdhomerunner) and Cable (hdhomerunner)

 The UI, music player, photo gallery all use the full screen without any
 problems.

 I have tried altering the capture resolution on the pvr-250 recording
 profile from 720x480 to 480x480, without any noticable change. Setting
 horizontal scaling to 25% results in the left and right edges of the image
 being clipped, however it still uses the same 'window'

 The 'window' is applied to 'zoom' levels 'none' 'half' and 'full'. Setting
 the zoom level to 'stretch' uses the full screen, however the top, bottom
 and right and left edges of the image are all clipped.

 My suspicion is that there is a control for the internal player that is
 not being handled properly.

 The intel drivers for xorg were made available last night, and after
 installing them, no change detected.

 Playback is through a dvi-hdmi adapter to a projector that displays
 properly from my PS3 (at 1920x1080) but which I have to set this system to
 1600x1280 to work with. 1920x540i comes up with a different layout for the
 UI every time I try to use it.

 Attaching lspci -vv, Xorg.1.log and mythbuntu.log. Will be happy to attach
 other logs and captures of frontend being launched from a command line if
 that would be helpful.
