Hi all,
my signature shows that I am using 8600GT video card. Unfortunately something went wrong with the computer and after a long story... I have to use the built-in video graphics (ATI HD 3200). Installed the drivers (did not use this before due to stuttering issues everybody was talking about years ago when I set up the system), Media Portal started to use the new graphics straight away. Not happy at all with picture quality (I do not believe I will ever get back that crisp and perfect picture I had with the GeForce 8600GT)...

Problem is, that the desktop and the menu screens of Media Portal are using the entire area of the screen, but as soon as I watch TV (or recorded tv), there are two black bands top and bottom. Older videos which I know that they used to fill the screen 100%, now show the same black bands top and bottom. I would say the bans are approx 20-25 pixels wide (each).

I have played with different setting in Media Portal for tv zoom modes (original, stretch, letterbox, etc) but there is no change, I cannot get rid of those top and bottom black bands.

Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Chris.
