noticed this last night that 4:3 signal was in black square box with black lines at the top and bottom.

SCC last night was in 14:9 but again black borders on all sides.

Today 4:3 now fine but noticed horrible black lines in every direction in other signals 14:9, 16:9. Take the chuck advert, wii one, gas homecare advert or even the ironman film trailer.

Its like the transmitions have no code to tell the TV's what format is being shown. As you need to manually keep changing the format yourself to stop the 4 sided black bars.
