NTL TV Picture bigger than Analogue?

Can any of you kind knowledgeable folks please explain to me why the TV picture is larger on NTL thereby missing a portion of the edges all around, compared to watching normal analogue tv?

We have found ourselves switching to the 4 normal chanels BBC1,2, ITV, CH4 (CH5 is not normal so I wont include the snowflake channel!) - this is now making NTL TV services redundant, which in turn will make both NTL telephone and BB economically unviable... plenty of other ISP's for BB, BT for phone and sky for digital telly (not that there's much worth watching).

If there is a simple solution at making the NTL picture fit the TV screen, then I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction !! (The TV does not have the old fashioned vertical and horizonta hold dials - just the standard 16:9 and 4:3 settings).

Please dont reply in new fangled technical jargon - I'm just an older duffer who has only just realised that I no longer have to replace the valves in the back of the telly!!!! Plain and simple please
