Whether I need it or not, I should still be able to do it I run in 1280x960 mode, and this has a window open that's less than 1/4 of my screen normally. If I want to watch TV from a few feet away, it becomes much less appropriate; it really needs to be scaled up for fullscreen. What is also rather annoying is that XawTV cannot seem to handle widescreen 16:9 tv signals. If I put the window into 16:9 I end up with black padding left and right, and a 16:9 tv image squashed into 4:3 in the middle. So, anyone have anything to say on the original issues? jg
