ATI TV Widescreen setting

[gvayl]

HI,
I'm having trouble setting the Picture Aspect Ratio. You will see this menu by right clicking in your DTV window. Niether one displays 16x9 accurately on my monitor? Auto and 4x3 makes it too thin vertically. Letterbox and widescreen makes it even worse. The only thing makes it ok is if I manually size the screen. What do you people do?

I'm very confused by your post. Maybe more details would help.

Which tv are you talking about, and what do you mean by "DTV" (DirecTV?) Can you describe your setup (including what kind of video card and driver version)?

How is the computer connected to the TV?

I simply gave up using ATI TV software and went with Windows Media Center.

Um...read the post dude. 1. I clearly said that this is for people with a. ATI HDTV Wonder and b. Dell 2005fpw.

DTV is the program that alowes me to view HDTV on my computer, its in the ATI Multimedia Center. And I don't have an HDTV..my computer is connected to Dell 2005fpw its a 20.1 inch widescreen LCD with 16x10 resolution. I don't mean any disrespect, but people who have both of these devices will find that I have given plenty of detail. With out having the HDTV wonder you won't be able to answer my question.

Well when I had a slow computer ATI software was very bad and crashed a lot. I had the ATI TV Wonder VE on an old dell 733Mhz. With my new PC, ATI software works ok. Its not as bad with a slow pc.

Oh and how could you watch TV with Windows Media Center from your ATI tv card?

I mean the crappy aspect ratio support in ATI TV is what made me give up on it, not that I ever had any trouble with the program crashing or anything. As for Windows Media Center, the aplication that supports quite a few different tuner cards including your HDTV wonder.
