Set the aspect ratio in your recording profiles to 16:9, and your recordings 
will start out playing back in 16:9.

As an aside, this gets a touch annoying when you have two Myth boxes playing 
back from the same recordings stockpile, with one 16:9 TV and one 4:3 TV, but 
that's why I was sure to put the aspect ratio toggle button on my remote. ;-)

Hard to say, since he didn't specify if the TV was 16:9 or not. Sounds like 
not, which means it is probably a different problem, but I'm not positive.
