Has anyone thought of supporting the MVP with freevo?
I'm not sure exactly what it would entail as its a fairly limited little
box. It is based on a PPC with hardware mpeg1/2 chip that reads streams from
the network.
I was just curious if it was possible as I was using freevo with a dxr3 and

In windows there are widescreen modes on the NVidia cards, using one of
these in conjunction with TV out and a widescreen TV should correct your
aspect ratio (doesn't look too good on a monitor but if you are running it
dedicated#. I guess it is just a case of recreating one of these resolution
set
Am I right in thinking you are trying to record as mpeg4?
try mpeg1 or 2 and transcode to mpeg4 / divx off line

If you are going to use overscan, then the interface should be designed to
take into account the TV Safe area.
I think there needs to be overscan specific version.

As far as "TV" based interfaces are concerned, you develop your interface to
take account of overscan.
I suspect freevo would need a skin that is designed with the tv safe area in
mind. Don't know if the skin can determine the placement of the plugin
items?
Take any STB interface or tv advert wit

I'm still undecided on this as at present as the range is somewhat limited.
When I tired it at work it had a useable range of about 10meters, but at
home that range is seriously reduced to only 1 to 3 meters depending on the
1.2.so.0 that is the missing part in the Wiki instructions.
