God-damn widescreen TV

[Big Dave]

TVNZ - sounds interesting - What sky sport channel is it on?

Don't know what you guys are doing but TV1, TV2 & TV3 still look fine on my 10+ year old 4:3 analogue TV, and the widescreen stuff looks OK through SKY on the widescreen set.

If Freeview is anything like the Sky decoder you may have to configure what type of TV is attached to it, 4:3 (standard) or 16:9 (widescreen) or things get a bit confused.

As for the standard terrestrial signal, it seems to be being broadcast mostly in Pan & Scan format or occasionally letterboxed (black bars top and bottom). Movies have been broadcast in Pan & Scan for years to fit 4:3 TVs so it's hardly new. The station logo marks the edge of the 4:3 format, so should be visible on all sets. Maybe some tweaking of the horizontal picture size is needed on some sets?

Try turning it off.
