How To Handle 16x9 image in a 4:3 broadcast on a 16x9 TV
I'm currently considering switching from BeyondTV (Due to lack of product support) and am having a few change based issues that I'm sure are mainly not knowing what I'm doing with SageTV.
I'm running SageTV on a standard windows XP box hooked up to a 1080p TV, and often find myself looking at a 4:3 broadcast that holds a letterbox of video in it... so I've got wasted space left, right top and bottom... My TV supports zooming/panning/cropping/etc however when I do that I lose the SageTV UI off the edges of the screen. On Beyond TV I could adjust this easily through a menu option which would make the 16x9 portion fill my screen. I've looked through the manual and can't find anything specific to this, the options I have found are very limited, and while it looks like this is better supported on an HD300 I'm still on the fence if I want to get one of those or not...

Look for 'Aspect Ratio Controls' in Detailed Setup. There are a four preset options. I, when I used to have a lot of this content, set up the 16x9 mode to be scaled horiz and vert by 133%. This stretched the image to fill the 16x9 display. Then, when I was on these recordings, I'd use a button on my remote mapped the the Aspect Ration toggle command to switch between them.

I basically do the same. I set the AR ratios in 4x3 mode to zoom in 133% so that it zoomes in without distortion. instead so setting up a remote button to toggle to that AR, I use the "automatic aspect ratio switcher" to automate the AR changes as needed.
