I have a box running Myth 0.17 with a NVidia MX4000 card, 2 DVB-T cards and a PVR350.

I've currently doing video out by S-Video (may move to vga/SCART later but thats not convenient right now). Quality is suprisingly good. The TV picks the signal up and widescreens it (I can select this and have a centreboxed 4:3 image instead). Experimentation appears to show that the NVidia TV-out is only happy with a standard 4:3 resolution - I tried to set up a 16:9 aspect ratio display and I get messages that those modes don't work with TV-Out. So I am getting stretched pixels.

Is there any appropriate setting set that would allow Myth to know about/correct for the image stretching - widescreen uis getting letterboxed and stretched so I'm seeing some really wide people!

Alternatively anyone know a way of talking the NVidia stuff into handling a wider aspect ratio output so I can get something close to square pixels?

On the input, I have the PVR-350 hooked to a sky box which habitually outputs in a 16:9 format. The PVR350 card is compressing those into a 4:3 ratio - and the settings within Myth do not let me set anything corresponding to PAL widescreen pixel sizes.

Any indicators as to the best way to deal with this would be great.

Cheers
   Nigel.
