[mythtv-users] Changing aspect ratio?

My plasma is a 1024x768 display, when I use HDMI or VGA inputs.  (I just 
ordered a component cable, so this may soon change!)

Anyway, Right now, HD recorded on different tuners (HDHomeRun -vs- 
Firewire) seem to have different shapes.  Both *should* have a 16:9 
ratio, like my TV, but when I get video off of the firewire, I have top 
and bottom letterboxes.

I have tried increasing the vertical percentage thingie (settings / TV / 
Playback / 7th page or so).  A 12-15 or so fixes it perfectly for 
firewire HD -- BUT -- all other tuners are now cropped.

Any suggestions?  Could I maybe add a custom setting to the aspects 
easily?  Would it be a code change, or a settings change somewhere? I 
don't mind pressing W a few times during playback.

Thanks in advance,

-Dave
