aspect ratio problems

If I use full screen for HDhomerun everything is ok until I switch to
analog tuner/recording. Then picture is stretched to fill top
to bottom. Way too big and wrong aspect ratio.
I want full screen
I want only 1280 X 720 to fill my widescreen 1:1 pixel
I would like 1920 X 1080 to be converted to 720i
I want 480i to only fill 1:1 pixels (black on all sides)
DVD not sure what is best.

But mostly 480i is way too big when using fullscreen

aspect is set to source.

Need automatic???

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray

Make sure your display aspect ratio is set to give you a perfect circle.

With my 16:9 display, what I do is use Source Aspect ratio (with the settings at 100%) to watch most content. 16:9 HD content will display as full-screen and 4:3 SD content will display with pillarboxes on the left and right, with no distortion.

Then, if you have some letterboxed SD content that ends up postage-stamped with black bars around all 4 sides, set up another aspect ratio, such as 4:3, with 133% zoom both ways to zoom in without distortion.

DVD and other widescreen imported videos will look fine in Source. YOu may have some letterboxing due to the very-wide aspect ratios, but you get it displayed the best way possible.

If you want automatic switching, nielm has a good auto-aspect ratio switcher, but it doesn't work with SageMC 6.3.4.

Oh, I read your post again, you want your 480i content to display postage-stamped with black bars all the way around. No idea what setting you need for that. Maybe set up the 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio to something like 75%. Finetune it to look as close to 1:1 as you want.

It works with SageTV6.2.10 but not with the SageMC6.3.4 UI.
