    Anyone have a clue?
    When I turn on sky sports news you cant see all of the picture. No matter what aspect ratio I have it on it wont let you see the whole screen? TV is not old in years but possibly extinct technology wise.

    Change the settings on the box.

    Eg on UPC if you press menu settings tv settings and change it to widescreen it will be grand.

    If your watching on a Sky box: press services, system set up, picture settings, and then change picture format to 16:9

    Should sort it

    Same problem myself, tried the widescreen option on the TV menu and still no good. Must try the settings on the UPC box when I get home tonight to see if that will work.
