I'm currently using the mac frontend instead of a regular 
linux-frontend. When I fire it up, everything works and so on. But when 
switching to TV I automaticly get 4:3 picture (centered) on my 16:9 
screen. Even though I try to force playback to 16:9. How do I change the 
aspectratio of Live-TV in the mac frontend?

In the menu when watching TV you can change the aspect ratio.
I usually only do this when the show I recorded was on a SD channel and the
channel broadcast the show in letterbox on the SD channel.
4:3 (normal or smushed 16:9)
16:9 (normal or stretched 4:3)
4:3 Zoom (zooms in on the center of the video in a 4:3 aspect ratio)
16:9 Zoom (zooms in on the center of the video in a 16:9 aspect ratio)
16:9 Stretch
Fill

Not sure about the last 2..
Also not sure if you can set these as defaults.
