first off, congrats on your excellent choice on the material you show 
us, can't wait for the season finale this evening, and furthermore 
(though I don't know how to fix it), mplayer's XV seems to get the 
sizeinfo from the (smaller?, first?, primary?) display device. On my 
system I have 1280x960 and a 1024x768 portion of it defined as TV-Out 
area (with nvidia drivers), and I get the same picture as in your 
screenshot, but watching it on TV all is fine (as I'm upgrading this 
week to DVI-to-HDMI, I won't be needing the nvidia drivers anymore and 
therefore I hope I have fullscreen display again on all display devices.
