There's a setting somewhere under Setup->Something (TV Setttings 
possibly?)->Playback (can't remember exactly) where you specify your 
screen's aspect ratio.

I found that after I upgraded to Gutsy, that setting had been changed to 
4:3 (I believe it may have had to do with the NVIDIA drivers being 
updated, possibly). Once I set that to 16:9, it all worked fine again.
