Is anyone having problems with the aspect ratio on the Langley STBs? This problem has developed over the last week or so. What happens is that a 4:3 image is squashed horizontally so that the picture is really narrow with black bars down the outside (it looks a bit like watching a 16:9 picture on a normal telly). I've got a widescreen TV with the STB output set to 16:9 and the TV switches automatically between 16:9 & 4:3, but I watch non-widescreen programmes in 4:3. I can fix it by going into the guide, but it's starting to get a pain in the bum. So far it's happened on $ky OnÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â ¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¬, Mix, UK Gold, Q and a few others. Does anyone know if this is a software issue?

Thanks
