[mythtv-users] hdtv question

[Michael Wisniewski]

For whatever reasons, I was thinking about this last night.

I have a 32" 4:3 TV that does hdtv.  For OTA hi-def, it makes it letterbox
and then shrinks the left/right sides so it's back to 4:3 and doesn't fill
the screen.

I would like to use MythTV to play hdtv avi's and mpeg's.  I have bought
anything yet, but I'm wondering....if I configure x11 for 1080i hdtv, won't
everything be in that shrunk down letterbox format?  For viewing tv over the
air, I just have a hauppauge pvr-150 and no hdtv.

What I would love to do is be able to display everything on the screen fully
(4:3), but then if I play a hdtv avi or mpeg file, it displays it properly
in 1080i.  Is this possible?


Thanks!
