[mythtv-users] Make weather content not crop

I want a couple of my LiveTV stations not to crop the video.

On my Playback settings, I set the Zoom to Full. This makes the channels
always crop to fill up my 24in CRT display. However, I want the zoom off on
a couple stations as they aren't cropping the picture to a full screen, but
taking out a lot of the content. An example is one of the OTA weather
channels. On Myth 0.20, even though I had it set to "Full" those stations
would look the same on "Full" and "Off". I don't know if the upgrade
to 0.21changed this or if it was some xorg change.

I checked the resolution of these stations and they seem there broadcast
resolution is 720x480. The rest of the stations are either 720 or 1080.
My TV's resolution is set to 1024x768. It's a GeForce 6160.
The TVOutFormat is set to COMPONENT
The TVSTandard is set to HD480i in the xorg.conf
I'm using Mythbuntu 7.10 with backports of MythTV 0.21

As I said, it was working fine before, so I'm not sure what change caused
this. We just got one of the Digital OTA converted boxes and I can't change
the zoom on those same weather stations just like what use to happen to them
on MythTV.

Anyone have any ideas?
