[QUOTE="BarneyB, post: 180503, member: 56377"] First of all forgive me because I am new to the world of HTPCs and Media Portal. I'm loving MP but cannot get my TV to display correctly and I think your plugin might help me....however I am using an SD (old analog) TV not a widescreen or LCD display. I have a digital TV tuner and while some programs I watch such as the news is ok, some older programs such as The Simpsons, Futurama etc have black bars on the left and right side.
