Programs (as opposed to adverts) on Drama (Channel 20, Freeview) don't
display full screen on our system. We have a pretty standard LG TV with a Humax PVR. It's not just too tall or too wide, there's a black band all round the displayed picture. So, even if preserving the screen proportions the picture could be displayed larger. Is this normal or is something configured wrong? -- Chris Green · |

New tricks is relatively new though compared with some of the stuff they put

Is this normal or is something configured wrong? I, I've just tried it on Freeview (Saturday am) and it was a 4:3 aspect but full height as normal. Same on both a Hitachi PVR (Vestel) and the TV's inbuilt tuner (Vestel). -- Dave W |
