I'm a bit baffled, have recently changed from Sky+ to Virgin and now have TiVo but find that some channels show programs in an odd format. MTV for instance (Hellcats) records with the program set inside a thick black border with the MTV logo over the top of the black border and picture. On Sky+ the screen just looked like a normal wide screen view. The adverts are all wide screen so it only seems to be the actual program. This also seems to happen on some other channels too (but not for all the programs shown) ie Good Food.

Any ideas why???
