I also have no 16:9 TV. The bug is that the dvb stream here is always
720x576, they only set the stream to 4:3 and 16:9 based on the
program. So when it switches to 16:9, the 720x576 need to be
interpreted different, no matter what tv you have. This makes mplayer
useless for me right now.

IIRC mplayer is not designed to do that. On such event, you need to
change post processing filters like software scale and expand, too.
