[mythtv-users] 4:3 Aspect Ratio

I am trying to figure out if Myth can automatically set the aspect ratio for
recordings from my HDHomeRun. It seems no matter what it records, I have to
manually set the aspect ratio. I have an old 32" Mitsubishi TV and when I
play 4:3 shows, it puts them in a box in the middle of the screen with
horizontal and vertical black bars. If I put it on 16:9 stretch, it looks
fine. Is there a way to get this to work correctly? Thanks.
