Not sure about this SMART mode you're talking about. I only hooked it up to the main aerial for half an hour or so, but i didn't see any black borders or anything, it filled the whole screen up with picture.

Thanks for the info on the blocky picture. This is still the reason i won't change yet.
Smart Mode is where a SD picture is stretched out to fill a widescreen telly, but only the outside left and right edges of the picture are stretched slightly, opposed to a SD picture being completely stretched to fill the screen which i think looks terrible. And i refuse to watch a 4:3(SD) picture with black bars on a 16:9(WS) TV.

Smart Mode
When a 4:3 picture is enlarged to the 16:9 format, some parts of the image at the top and bottom of the screen are lost. Smart Mode, a non-linear picture enlargement function, generates a full-format 16:9 picture that depicts the image data of a 4:3 broadcast.
