Oddly enough, I faced a similar situation to you (hell, I even live in
NZ). I tried out xbmc, and what drove me back to freevo was that is was
just plain old simpler to configure, run and administer and the
interface is cleaner. XBMCs interface is just too busy for me.
My freevo box eventually
I did both of these things, I had my remote set up to cycle through
aspect ratios and through zoom levels.
Unfortunately, my htpc died about 3 weeks ago, and I didn't back up the
config, but I might rip the hdd out tonight and get the config I used
off for you :D
The zooming was a little trick

Hi All
I moved flat, then once I plugged my computer back in, freevo stopped
working. In 2 different ways. The first is when Xorg has loaded, I am
logged in and looking at the desktop. If I was to bring up a terminal
and type "freevo", navigate to a video, play it (using mplayer) then hit
