Summary: RFE: Fullscreen without black top and bottom banner

Initial Comment:
I have a widescreen TFT screen and my PAL bttv card receives a widescreen 16:9 image on a 4:3 canvas resulting in a black top and bottom banner. If I set tvtime to widescreen, the image is stretched, if I set tvtime to a 4:3 ratio, I have a black border around the image and I am not using the complete screen.

Real TV's in this case crop the image, removing the black top and bottom banners and stretching the output to cover the complete screen. In this case at least I would have a bigger image.

All in all, tvtime offers me the best viewing of all the current TV applications, but that doesn't mean we cannot make it even better :-)

Thanks !

I have the same situation as described in 1st post ("a widescreen TFT
screen and my PAL bttv card receives a widescreen 16:9 image on a 4:3
canvas resulting in a black top and bottom banner"). None of the tvtime
option helps, not even the "matte-option". It just stretches the image in
many ways, but does not crop the banners. It would be helpful: all screens
and TV broadcasts are now wide I think...

Message:
You are looking for the matte-option, try without setting 16:9 mode of
tvtime.
Just poor that the OSD get's cropped too, it's a little fiddling to fix
this.

Bye
