I just bought a used Xbox 360 on Ebay for my sister to use with her old Panasonic analog cathode ray tube TV. I connected it using the included composite cable.
The main use will be as a WMC7 extender.
I got that set up, and so far it is able to stream recorded TV shows from the PC's hard drive to her TV. However, the shows we've tested so far were HD 16:9 recordings. although they stream fine to her set, they are squished rather than having black bars above and below the picture.
I can find no setting in the Xbox to tell it that it is connected to a 4:3 set. I would have thought it would automatically letterbox due to the composite connection - not that many 16:9 analog sets out there.
Is there some setting on the Xbox for this?
Do I need to set this in WMC7? (The OC is connect to it's own 16:9 PC monitor).
There are no aspect settings on the TV, it's just an old, 4:3 analog set.
Thanks.
