Yes. However I was playing around with the MythTV settings last night.

Fill seems to work for 4:3 sets as it doesn't appear to distort the 
images on One/2 or 3/4 from what I can tell, which seems to be against 
what the mode title suggests.

16:9 stretch appears to stretch the image further, so any shows that are 
broadcast in 4:3 with the black bars can be stretched out to fit 16:9 again.

All the other modes distort the image, or make 3/4 look fine, while 
making One/2 distorted. Oh, if only we could set modes specifically for 
each channel.

Haven't seen what this does to MythDVD or MythVideo though.
