my current TV is a standard NTSC box... and plays the stream fine. you can specify letterbox, 4:3 , 6:9, etc or 'to-fit'

the video looked like it normally does on my 21" monitor

i'll be upgrading my home TV sometime in 2008... was waiting for laserTV... no joy... oh well.

only downside is that is doesn't support HD content "at this time". that leads me to believe they can update the firmware to allow it to play whatever stream they wish. personally, i'd like to see it hand any usb drive being plugged in as well as being able to have new codecs uploaded from the usb drive.
