My Phirips remembers the non-widescreen mode you left it in (I usually have it on 14:9 partial zoom as a compromise) but won't stay in widescreen unless it senses the WSS flag which is sent in the VBI of an analogue video signal. At this point, I'm lost because I don't know how the widescreen flag gets through the DTT system and through Myth and all the other stuff in the chain. I know it works on the freeview box though.
I have set the DisplaySize value to a 16:9 ratio to give me a permanent anamorphic S-Video output which my tv likes but I have to keep putting it in widescreen mode every time I turn it on. 4:3 programmes appear with the usual black curtains but 16:9 material looks great. Myth info banners are a bit too wide this way but the menus are setup to fit the screen through Mythtv setup options. I think I'm stuffed. :-( -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Hughes Sent: 10 March 2005 15:28 To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Widescreen switching In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mike Parkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I should have mentioned that I'm using just a TV at the moment, a > Philips 100HZ 36" widescreen.

Can't you set a permanent default for the display format on the TV menus somewhere? You can on my Hitachi. If you can't then I think you're stuffed as S-Video doesn't have the capability to specify the aspect ratio like SCART does. Tom -- Tom Hughes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.compton.nu/
