Hey all,.. we have two tv's. Both "modern". One sony bravia and another (cant remember the brand but brand new). Both flat screens, both DTV ready and so on. Well.. we have no cable package (no cable box) just the cable running into the back of the TV's with basic channels. On an auto scan it finds about 30 channels. Many are duplicates of low number channels (4, 4.1, 5, 5.1, etc) of analog and digital channels. The digitals are the .1 numbers. It finds several analogs with no digital match. Then it finds a hand full of high number digital channels (like 89.261, 89.262) that are also duplicates of the low channels. Well of course the high numbers are super high definition, great picture, 16:9, fantastic. My gripe is that there are several of the low channels that have no HD match in the high channels yet they seem to be broadcasting in 16:9 yet the TV's only recognize them as 4:3. This means when the TV's are set to normal view on the screen the image is zoomed in so to speak. If there is a banner or a sub-title, it will run off the left and right of the screen and there is no setting I have found to allow me to see the entire screen.
The smaller of the two tvs is brand new and has a setting something to the effect of "use the stations broadcast size" as a setting for picture size and you still do not see the entire picture. Its very annoying. This is the case whether your on the analog channel or the digital channel. I have gone into the channels list and hidden any of the analog channels that have a digital duplicate but check them occasionally just to see but still no luck.
Any ideas on remedy?
