okay I have installed media protal 1.0 rc3 and so far I like it. But, I have some questions and I don't know if there is any fix. I have a LG Plasma with the max resolution of 1024x768 that we watch our shows on.
I have setup my tv turner card and it has found all the channels and I even get my epg guide which is great, but problems I have is when I hook my antenna straight to my tv the pictures takes up my whole screen. But, when I have it go thru my media centre I get black bars on the shows. If I use zoom it goes slightly to big. Would anyone know how to fix this. Right now I am ussing ffdshow.
The adjusting the screen size doesn't seem to work very well. I have my xbox with xbmc, but it really can't handle mkv and can't use it as dvr. So I have taken this old machine to setup. If there is a better way where I can get most of my shows to fit my screen without having the blackbars and not look very distorted it would e great to know.
thanks i advance for your support.
