[mythtvnz] display on analog widescreen tvs

[Guy Lowe]

Oh, and:

Section "Screen"
	(...)
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "720x576"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Using anything but the native 720x576 with a non-HD CRT looks a lot
worse and requires deinterlacing.

>> I've got to the stage where I've plugged the display into the TV, which is an old Loewe Aconda 100Hz analog widescreen tv. I'm connecting via s-video from an nvidia 7300. The card identifies the screen as 1024x768. Is this the best resoultion to choose? Picture quality is pretty awful. Also do I just use the overscan to convert from what looks like a 4:3 display to 16:9???
