My TV format is PAL, and I just see a black screen when I stream. How do I fix this?

WebGuide: LiveTV FAQ
There is a known compatibility issue between PAL recordings and most MPEG2 decoders (including the one included in Vista). As a fix, simply install the trial version of CyberLink PowerDVD decoder and select it from the "decoder" list in the WebGuide configuration tool (in your Start menu). Most users have reported that this fixes their streaming problem, and supposedly the decoder keeps working after the trial period is over.

Widescreen TVs have an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 otherwise known as 16x9. If a film has a higher aspect ratio than this (1.85:1 or 2.35:1 for example) then you will get bars at the top and bottom of the picture because the image is much wider than the TV screen.
