[mythtv] [PATCH] Enable decoding of more mpeg-ts streams for pcHDTV

Hello Isaac,

IR> Zooming  stuff really isn't that difficult, software wise, as long as you're

It  should  be enough with a setting to tell myth if the user has a 16:9 or 4:3.
All  that  needs  to  be done is to add black bars (top and bottom) if there's a
real  anamorphic 16:9 broadcast so that 4:3 users get the right ratio (letterbox
format).

Other  than  that,  there's  the strange issue with the small picture with black
frames all around, wich could be taken care of as well.

Any stretch at the edges, not in the center thingie should not be needed, that's
built into all widescreen TV's (should be at least).

(The  other issue that's taken care of in myth at the moment is a rare case wich
is easily avoided with a corectly set-up cable box.)
