3505	Avoid OSD resize from 4:3 when viewing 16:9 TV	anonymous	danielk	"This patch fixes a small glitch in the OSD when starting to watch a 16:9 broadcast.

Currently, when you start watching 16:9 live TV  the following happens ... the screen goes black and the OSD appears showing the tuner in use and the current program details.  The OSD seems is sized for a 4:3 aspect ratio (not taking up the full screen width), then once the tuner locks on and the picture appears, the OSD resizes to the
full width of the screen.  It just looks a bit ugly and unpolished.

This happens because the video player has a hard-coded assumption about the video it will start playing, and assume 4:3.  It uses this to setup a dummy video stream while waiting for the channel to tune.

This patch sets up the dummy video stream to match the display aspect ratio.

It's a bit of a hack, but it results in a much improved/polished behavior in most cases.
