[mythtvnz] FW: Wide screen setup

[Alan Walls]

I'm using MythCenter-wide as my theme.  The minimyth resolution is set
to PAL 720x576Noscale.   The TV is set to auto switch between 4:3 shown
in the middle and 12:9 zooming to fill the screen.  The MythTV
background appears like a 4:3 box in the middle of the screen.=20

Tuning for a widescreen CRT over S-Video can be a pain.

1. Does the background fill the entire screen?

2. Is the background image wide

3. If the background image isn't wide have you tried changing the TV
mode to make it wide.

4. Is the problem with your overscan settings? Don't know how to tweak
this on a Via board.
