This problem is difficult to describe.

It appears, at least to me, that my tv isn't displaying pictures properly in their 16:9 format. When I watched Sky Sports last night for Sheff Weds v Leeds the bit that displays the teams, scores and times said W v Leeds. presumably it actually said Sheff W or something like that. My widescreen tv (CRT) will take pictures and fill the screen with them by default, whatever the format. Is it possible that the V+ box is giving out a 4:3 format picture, despite being set to widescreen? Or do I need a new telly? I have unplugged both V+ and telly, and have checked all connections and settings.

Sorry if that seemed a bit confused, but I'm not very technically minded. Thanks in advance for any help.
