[mythtv-users] adjust the refresh rate for content but keep same refresh rate for GUI

Hello all

im using mythtv 0.23 and have mythtv automatically adjust the refresh
rate of the TV to match the video being played as per instructions from JYA
recently.

This works well @1920x1080i switching between 50hz and 60hz in PAL land for
freeview, freesat and backed up content.

My Budget TV max resolution is 1920x1080i and native resolution 1920x1080i
at 60hz.

1920x1080i at 60hz desktop/gui flickers too much but the fonts look normal.
At 50hz the fonts both outside of myth and in myth looks squashed up but the
flicker is hardly noticeable.

I notice in myth the GUI stays at the refresh rate of the last media played
and exit from whether that be a recording, live Tv, content from mythvideo.
Is there any way to change this so the gui stays at a prefered refresh rate
but the same resolution.

The other alternative is to have mythtv gui at 1280x720 and content played
at 1920x1080i.  Tried this but myth gui just sits in top left of the screen
without the of the screen being used.

Thanks for your help
