Sounds like your tv is auto-switching? Check your TV settings and set to WIDE.
The V+ if connected by HDMI should also be set to 720 or 1080i WIDE (if you want SD channels to be stretched)

Re: please help with TV and Box
What TV have you got and what model? It will be related to your tv setting.

Re: please help with TV and Box
Can you post a picture or detail your menu settings tab under picture or advanced so we can see what your settings are? It sounds to me that it is going to be a simple setting change to correct this.

Re: please help with TV and Box
V+ Box should be Widescreen & RGB and then on your TV set it is switching between Widescreen and 4:3 depending on whether the program you change to is in widescreen. On your TV remote, there should be a button saying either WIDE, 16:9 or 4:3/16:9. When your TV changes to 4:3 automatically, you need to press that button until it is on Wide, or use the picture menu that you have stated the options available for above.

Re: please help with TV and Box

Try switching "V+ auto detects scart" to off in the V+ settings
