Skaven, if you don't have any widescreen TV's then leaving the boxes in 4:3 mode will stop it doing it to your boxes. 4:3 P&S will make 16:9 pictures fill the screen, 4:3 letterbox will mean 16:9 pictures will have black bars top and bottom, the aspect ratio will also then be correct no matter what you watch.[/QUOTE]

AGGGHHHHHHHH. Slap propin round the head with a fish. Ive said in my original post I have a Sony Wega widescreen and also a satndard 4:3 tv one downstairs, one upstairs, Both do it on all channels (nearly all as I listed) at the same time.

Currently the box on the 4;3 tv Ive set to 4;3 Leterbox, as Im a fussy get, and what me bars (top and bottom, not left to right) heheheheh

And the Sony Wega Widescreen is still set to 16:9 Widescreen, Ile let you know if it happens again and what tv is showing what.

Cheers Propin
