Maybe it's just me, but isn't leterbox when you have black borders at the
top and bottom? Let's say an analog 4:3 recording with black bars at top and
bottom that you then can zoom in to make it fit a widescreen tv?
That's not what i have on the dvb recording with too wide font.

My guess is that it probably detects the video aspect ratio, but doesn't
actualy change how it's displayed.

No, widescreen dvb (16:9) no black bars in the picture that's sent.
But the begining is 4:3 and then it is supposed to switch to 16:9 but that
doesn't happen.
