So this means that a MythTV recording at 480x480 or 720x480 is first
scaled to 1024x768 by XV on the graphics adapter and then scaled to
1366x768 by the TV. Have you tried to get rid of one of the scalings ?

Those that use HDTV with MythTV do they run such a TV at 1366x768 or
at 1280x720 to avoid scaling ? Is it possible to avoid scaling when
the TVs resolution is 1366x768 ?
