[mythtv] Aspect ratio when viewing live tv from DVB via PVR-350 tv out

[Nick Rosier]

>From what I've noticed, the Aspect-Ratio settings in Myth only affect
stuff like OSD when using a 350 for TV-out as OSD is overlayed on the
TV-out. The PAL-version of the 350 uses the default PAL-resolution of
720x576 and AFAIK doesn't know/support the Wide-Screen PAL modi.
I think when using other framebuffers you'll get other results.
