Hmm.  Sounds like mplayer is not drawing the black bars, but instead
it's "leaving" those areas alone.  Freevo should by default "black"
that area out.  I only have a WS TV so I can't really test.

Have you tried issueing from the command line?  I know xine has a
plugin to inject those black lines onto the screen..  But I can't
remember if mplayer does.  Try xine with the expand plugin.
