Widescreen

MediaPortal Version: MediaPortal_0.2.3_RC2
Windows Version: XP Pro SP2
1. TV Card: Hauppage WinTV Nova-T USB

I can't seem to be able to get MediaPortal to display widescreen.

The tv window always displays in 4:3 aspect even if the channel is transmitting in widescreen. WHen it is supposed to be widescreen, the picture is stretched to fit the 4:3.

I have tried various settings in the aspect ratio section (normal, original, zoom, etc) and it appear to make no difference.

( I am having to use the RC1 version becuase I need support for the
Hauppage WinTV Nova-T USB Stick which is not present in the release version)

Any help much appreciated.

Changing the default Mpeg-2 decoder in the configuration helped somewhat.

However, it still seems impossible to resize the window displaying the TV without the picture freezing. Anyone any ideas how this can be cured (I am now running RC3)?
