[mythtv-users] Black borders on screen

[David Whyte]

I find that some content is wider than others.  A number of ads and
stuff leave black borders left and right, but the actual program fills
the screen in 4:3 mode.  I just leave it in 4:3 all the time.

I have noticed though that when you change to another mode, such as
zoom or 16:9, then the OSD does not display correct, becuase it is
forced outside of the monitors displayble area.  It would be good if
only the content was zoomed, not the OSD.

Cheers,
Dave
