I think the PVR350 might be getting involved - I have a Nova-T playing 
back via an Nvidia Geforce FX5200; widescreen shows are shown as 
widescreen, full-frame as full-frame. Of course, I'm using a 4:3 theme 
in MythTV, which may have an effect (the 16:9 theme supplied IS 
stretched vertically, incorrectly).
