I have a situation where I need to regularly logon to a computer using a single widescreen aspect monitor.  However, I am using dual monitors creating a widescreen desktop.  Is there any way to tell TV to span both monitors so I don't have to use just one of mine to either view their desktop scaled down, OR have to pan around with it at 100%?

Thanks,
Tim

Not sure I understand

I have dual screens
If I connect to any single screen machine, I get a single TV window.
I can move that TV Window across either or both screens, like any other window.
I can resize the TV window by dragging the corners out (like any other window).

If you want true 'dual screen' then no, TV can't do that, unless both computers have dual screens.
You could get a true dual screen display at your end, if you use RDP rather than TV, but only in certain circumstances. It depends on what OS is installed and what version of the RDP client.

I tried positioning it over both screens, and that works.  However, when I go to stretch it out (grabbing a corner for example) to fill both screens, it will not let me make it larger.  Are you sure you can stretch yours out to fill both monitors? 

For now I had to bump down her resolution from 1920x1080 to my single monitor size of 1280x1024.  Not ideal, but it's better than having to scroll around.

Tis' a shame.
