[mythtv-users] HDTV?

 	I'm kinda an HDTV noob, but know a fair bit about video signals.  I 
learned something interesting from the local TV/stereo shop when I was browsing 
in there letting them try to blow smoke up my *ss.  I wasn't aware that HDTV's 
usually do a "nonlinear" zoom when displaying SDTV so that there aren't black 
bars on the side or horribly squished 4:3 playback.  Does XV allow for such a 
stretching?  I know Mythtv has 4:3, 4:3 zoom, 16:9, and 16:9 zoom, but they're 
all linear.

 	Just thought I'd throw that out there.  Since I don't even have an HDTV 
it doesn't matter much to me... just making people who might care aware... :)
