Just tested r12637 and I have the same aspect ratio problem as with other versions.
Just to be clear: when I press Z on the keyboard to cycle through the display options the aspect ratio corrects itself.
Do you have this also?
Also it is not with all channels constantly, some channels are more difficult than others it appears, although they have the same resolution.
If I stop the stream and restart the aspect ratio is usually correct.
Sometimes it displays as full vertical height 4:3, although they are all 16:9 streams, and sometimes I have 4 black borders around the image which also appears to be zoomed in, so not 100% visible.
I have no idea where the problem lies.
I also tried nightlies from raspbmc but they broke the stream totally, indeed a black screen.
It's not great but i'm going to map the Z key to my remote so i will have to press it 5 times or so when it displays wrong.
Edit: Also I tried the tvheadend server on another linux machine and it was not the problem.
When I open the streams with XBMC RC3 on my Linux pc I do not have the aspect ratio problems.
Edit2: I also just discovered that if you use the backward\slash key it switches between pal/ntsc I think and I only have to press it twice to correct the aspect ratio.
