[mythtv-users] How do you adjust font sizes?

[Joe Votour]

720x480 support seems to depend on your driver.

I am able to configure 720x480, and it works with the
version of the driver I have (I think it's 7664), but
when I watch TV or a recording, it's shrunk quite a
bit.  I have to play with the aspect ratio to work.

I run at 1024x768 on my nVidia GeForce 5200FX for a
couple of reasons:
1. The overscan seems to fill the screen better than
at 800x600
2. I've had some problems with xine in the past where
ir wouldn't play a file that was larger than the
current screen size (although maybe that's fixable via
command line arguments).

I keep telling myself I'll give the PVR-350 with xv
another shot.  It does work (but it seems that you
still need to use the onboard MPEG-2 decoder with
MythTV for MPEG-2 recordings), but the overscan
differed on recordings from the PVR-350 and the
PVR-500.  Hmmm...
