Well - Everything seems to be working well in Mythbuntu. My GUI displays
full screen on my HDTV but the video from LiveTV or Recordings display in a
square area in the center of the display. If I go to the Video Setup menu
and choose Separate the GUI and Playback, what should I change the
parameters to to make use of the rest of my 50" display? I have played
around with this in the past and ended up with the GUI being too large and
cut off on the edges.

I normally output to my HDTV at 1080p.
