Most UK broadcasts are in widescreen, but I'm still using a 4:3 25" TV I 'obtained' at my last job

16:9 here as well - I've had 16:9 for years and will never go back to 4:3 - although I do watch all the 4:3 programming in the correct aspect ratio. Never been keen on that horrid stretched look.
HTPC's - The dream and the reality are a universe apart.

I have a 4:3 43" CRT rear projection TV as my main TV and a 4:3 17" LCD.
Planning to switch to widescreen soon. Those flat panels are getting more and more tempting. Also planning to upgrade my projector to a new widescreen hi-def one and to build a HTPC, so i'll be able to watch movies from GBPVR on the projector (or the flat panel) 
GBPVR: v0.99.5
Server: Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2GB Memory, 1480GB Storage, 6 DVB-T Tuners (2 x Nova-T 500 PCI, 2 x Nova-T PCI) HTPC: Athlon64 3000+, 1GB Memory, 80GB Storage, Blackgold GDI DVB-T Tuner, Ahanix MCE-302 Case, MSI K8NGM2-FID motherboard Main TV: Toshiba 42WLT66 LCD Media Playback: 2 x MVP (wired) Homepage: http://www.sixgun.co.uk/ Author of MpegImport utility |
