Just replaced my standard set top box with a Samsung V+ box. It seems that the picture is displayed more close-up than previously on all channels. Normally this is no problem but on SSN it means that the graphics on the left and right sides are cut off. I never had this problem with the old standard box, and re-booting or changing the screen ratio has no effect. Any ideas please?
If you're now connecting with HDMI instead of Scart it could be that your TV is using different overscan settings. You may be able to find a setting in the menus of your TV to turn off or reduce overscan (assuming you're connecting to an HDTV of course).
If you post the make and model of your TV someone may be able to help more.
The TV is a Toshiba ZH36/37. It's not HD ready so still using scart leads as I did previously withe old box.
Changing the screen ratio to 4:3 on the TV makes no difference. It just makes the picture smaller but still loses the left and right hand edges.
Lew - all seems to be sorted now. The display setting on my V+ box was for 4:3 so I changed it to wide and that seems to have solved it. Thanks for your help with this it's much appreciated.
