1. We use PAL here in Europe
2. Whether I need it or not, I should still be able to do it
I run in 1280x960 mode, and this has a window open that's less than 1/4
of my screen normally. If I want to watch TV from a few feet away, it
becomes much less appropriate; it really needs to be scaled up for
fullscreen.
What is also rather annoying is that XawTV cannot seem to handle
widescreen 16:9 tv signals. If I put the window into 16:9 I end up with
black padding left and right, and a 16:9 tv image squashed into 4:3 in
the middle.
So, anyone have anything to say on the original issues?
