I had a lot of problems with the TV with ghosting with SkyHD at first. This was fixed by turning DNR, Film mode, and Active Contrast off. These are still off now.

I'm not really sure what you mean by horizontal bars? You'll see them on analogue as that is not a widescreen broadcast, you'll see 14:9 letterboxed in a 4:3 frame on say BBC if I remember rightly (been a while since I watched analogue!). On digital the programmes should be widescreen (16:9) so should take up the whole screen and there shouldn't be any borders. There are a few exceptions, with 4:3 programs like Simpsons as you rightly say. There are a few 4:3 channels left too (MTV is one example - you may see letter boxed content here).
Personally I'd recommend not using the "Wide" settings on 720P/1080i as these will stretch the 4:3 images to fill the screen. I prefer to watch the programs in the correct aspect ratio. These are the only stretch/zoom options on the V+, anything else must be on your TV I'd think?
