OK, it sounds as though you are all having the same problem I have, but going into the settings doesn't do anything to fix mine.

Widescreen programs show correctly in 16:9 mode, 4:3 programs are stretched to fill the screen. This spontaneously decided to correct itself about a week ago, at which point I stopped putting the NTL box into standby and enjoyed proper aspect ratios right up until last night when I accidentally flicked the wrong power switch.

Now it's gone back to stretching the $:3 pictures. I'm confused in this topic by all the talk of different boxes/software versions... is this a common fault and is there a known fix?
