    I don't know if this is a hardware or sofware related question so I just put it here. When I bought my Inspiron 1520 I ordered the USB Tv Tuner and remote. The TV Tuner works great, but I have a widescreen display so any video no in widescreen just looks ugly. I'm using Windows Media Player 10 for Vista with the TV Tuner so my question is, is there any way to set either the TV Tuner or the Media Player Center to play recorded movies and live tv in widescreen?

    Thank You,
    -Taylor

    You want to play 2 videos at the same time? There's no way to do that in Media center

    I don't want to play two videos at one time I just want to watch one video at a time in widescreen and I don't know where I need to go to do that.

    I figured it out. I just right clicked the screen, hit settings, then TV settings, and configured my monitor to display in widescreen.

    Thanks,
