If you're saying that when you play back a recording using MythTV it
displays as if it's 4:3 (whether you record it using MythTV or cat) but
when you play it using another media player/system, it's 16:9 (whether
you record it using MythTV or cat), that means you've either set a
"Video Aspect Override" in MythTV that tells it to treat all video as if
it's 4:3, regardless of what the video says (and, FWIW, there is no
reason anyone in the world should ever set the Video Aspect Override
setting--except for the never-gonna-exist-in-reality person who has 100%
of all video sources providing incorrectly-encoded video that gives the
wrong aspect ratio information), or you've misconfigured X such that
it's telling MythTV the display is using some incorrect aspect.
