Stretch to fit 16x9

[CaptSammy]

In MCE I could hit the "i" button and stretch the playback of recorded shows in a couple ways, like less stretch in the middle more on the left and right.

Is there similar functionality in SageTV?

There are options to change the aspect ratios. On the hauppauge report, pressing the yellow button brings up the payback options. There should be an option that says "Aspect Ratio Mode" - you can change it to 4x3, source, and 16x9.

No, there's no built-in "smart stretch" feature. There might be some third-party DirectShow filters that do this, but I don't have any specific recommendations.

The HD Extender does non-linear stretch if you define a custom aspect ratio.
