[QUOTE="Nick123, post: 18600, member: 175765"] You're diagnosis seems correct, Methos - the STB is wierd. I plugged it into my widescreen TV downstairs (direct scart connection, fully-wired) and nothing happens automatically (not like with my Sky box). If I leave the STB on 4:3, 16:9 programs are predictably squashed vertically, but if I leave it on 16:9, the 4:3 channels are squashed horizontally. The best I can do is set the TV to automatic full-screen and suffer all the fat-faced people on 4:3 stations. The other annoying thing about this box is that it doesn't store the time, video mode, or the language settings if you unplug it - it reverts to GMT, PAL DK and French at the slightest loss of power. So others may avoid it, it's a Worldsat Impérial 300L. Thanks, Nick [/QUOTE]
