[mythtv-users] Fill vs Fit to screen

[Daniel Segel]

I'm not sure about how it works with a 16:9 display (because I don't have
one), but there's a setting for Aspect Override under Utilities / Setup ->
Setup -> TV Settings -> General that gives you choices like Fill, 4/3, 16/9,
4/3 Zoom, 16/9 Stretch, etc.
