Well, that's not entirely correct. In fact, the pvr350 did it as desired
for quite a while now. Scaling the GUI size and keeping video output
full screen. You can adjust the GUI size and offsets to fill the screen
(smaller than full screen) and have the video be displayed full screen.
Look for gui size and offsets in the appearance menus.

The browser is sized to the gui size settings. Unfortunately it doesn't
accept the offsets. So it's displayed at +0+0, which is off screen.
