[mythtv] MythTV on HDTVs? (Xfree Modelines)

[Michael J. Sherman]

I am, but I'm just using the standard 640x480 because I coulnd't find 
any info on HD modelines as you mentioned.   I'm only using S-video out 
from my Myth box anyways, so I guess I'd have to get a vga->component 
converter or something since my HDTV doesn't have VGA in.

That would be nice to have the Myth GUI in 1920x1080, though, wouldn't 
it?  ;-) It's not so much the increased resolution that I want, however. 
  I would just like to have it in 16:9 ratio.   Since the S-video out is 
only doing NTSC, would it be possible to do what anamorphic DVDs do and 
make X think it's running at 853x480, then squeeze it down to 640x480 to 
send out the TV-out, to then have your HDTV stretch it out again to the 
proper ratio?  Just a thought.

Let me know what you find.
