when you use a HDMI cable, the TV will only display in original aspect ration, the TV will not zoom / squash / stretch the picture etc..

If a picture is broadcast in Widescreen, thats how a TV receiving its signal down a HDMI cable will show it.

You will find that if you connect the TV Drive to you TV via a Scart lead, then the TV will zoom / stretch / squash the picture.

I think that really, its just worth putting up with the original aspect ration, afterall, at least the people dont look short and fat lol !!

I am sure that someone on this forum will know the technical reason why, but I dont - I just know that thats how it is.
