Where abouts is this aspect ratio setting in recording profiles? Is it 
something only available if you are using a PVR250 card? As I cannot 
find it on my system to change, and pressing the "w" all the time is 
irritating.

I have changed my recoding resolutions, but that has no effect on the 
playback aspect ratio.
