Hello!
I have replaced my old virgin media set top box with the VHD one yesterday. Set it up and stuff. Connected using HDMI.
For some reason, all channels seem to be stretched (everything is long

). No matter what settings (720p or 1080p or both wide). I also tried changing the TV settings but there isn't much I could do except change the aspect ratio (Full, wide, 4:3, box). If I change the TV setting to wide, the image isn't stretched anymore, however I cannot see the sides and the menu is completely stretched.
I have a 43" Pioneer PDP-436SXE.

I have connected a PS3 to the TV and it works fine.
I also remember that there was a similar problem with the old set top box. The image would be stretched in height if I didn't select wide on the TV settings. If I selected wide, the image or the menu wouldn't be stretched but I couldnt see the sides.

Help please.
