<br><br>Mike<br>_______________________________________________<br></blockquote></div><br>My problem is that I have a 4:3 HDTV. I setup my xorg for 1080i so I can see HDTV shows in HDTV (bars on the top and bottom as expected). As you stated, MythTV correctly scales to the 1080i screen. But when I watch 480i shows, because the output is 1080i to a 4:3 screen, I get bars on all 4 sides. Bottom and top from outputting 1080i to a 4:3 screen and sides since MythTV is scaled to 1080i and I am displaying 4:3. I realize that I can hit 'W' and rescale the image. Unfortunately, that means I cutoff the top and bottom since the NVidia 1080i output doesn't send a signal to the TV for that portion of the display. Ideally, I would love to switch the Xorg tvformat to 480i on the fly based on video. Is that possible?
