Currently I use a PC (with 7600GT Nvidia video card) that is connected to a 19" LCD monitor and a Philips LCD TV to watch movies and also MLB.tv. This machine is dual booting XP and Vista Home Premium. I kept using XP because the nvidia Vista drivers wouldnt allow any resolution higher than 1280x1024 once the TV was on :(. This was no problem at all in the XP drivers.
So today I installed a new BETA driver from Nvidia and I was glad to see this issue resolved ! Also had to install numerous Vista updates and had to reboot twice :(. But much to my surprise there was no option like there is in XP to display video full screen on the LCD tv !!! And after some searching it turns out this feature has been abandoned :(. Apparently Ati does support this, and it's called Theatre mode. So next time you build a Multimedia or MediaCenter PC, get an ATI card. This feature is a musthave for me, especially for MLB.TV. I need to have the baseball feed fullscreen on my TV, and not the tiny window that gets stretched to full screen as that doesnt work properly.
