Pick now having problems with aspect ratio - on Freeview and Freesat. Widescreen compressed to 4:3 with the DOG in the left pillar.

Oddly, the HD streams are showing the correct widescreen ratio.

HD channels normally show the correct aspect ratio because they can broadcast with pillar boxes (or letterboxes for movies) because I think they do it within the broadcast itself rather than an ARC signal to someone's TV which they can't do through an HMDI connection.

I may have got that completely wrong technically, however, for example:

[*]If I watch Brookside in the lounge on an HDMI link, it's stretchy-vision, which I have to manually change
[*]If I watch the same recording in my bedroom via the RF TV Link from the Sky STB, it is shown correctly as the TV knows to change it.


I hope that made sense.
