No it is not a widescreen tv.  It's a regular tv.

What i mean is that mplayer is not filling up the tv screen with -V xv. 
I've attach a png file to show what i mean.  Say the whole png picture 
is the tv screen, the grey part is what mplayer takes up.
However if i use -V x11 option fills up the whole tv screen.
I've tried monitoraspect and that doesn't work.
