Glad to hear that you have found a way to get around with that problem
in your PC. But I don't think I can use that tip. The reason is that
the only allowed screen resolution for TV mode in my nVidia video card
is 800x600 -- no more, no less. I can set it to 1024x768 -- but only
in analog PC display mode, not in TV mode, and as soon as I change to
analog PC display mode, the TV screen will go blank. Oh well... Seem
like I may have to live with viewing a square image.
