Is this related to the "Stretched" preview in the Live TV Guide (When the video is now square (480x480, for example), the right-hand side of the image is chopped off and the video is displayed stretched). -- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
