The Panorama skin looks great on 16x9 TV...

There are a couple of other problems with running freevo on 16x9 TVs and
that is when viewing photographs they are not correctly proportioned.

MPlayer is a bit poor with videos that are 16x9 it seems to shrink them
vertically so the video has nice black borders. It is even worst with DV
video shot in 16x9, found this out yesterday, it compresses the video
horizontally, which is already compressed horizontally so the video is
doubly compressed and only one decompressed when displayed, good for
people wanting to lose weight :)

Not had a chance to investigate this further.
