[mythtv-users] Aspect ration wierdness?

So, my Cable provider gave me a new STB (Motorola VIP 1929) when my old one died, and I am having aspect ratio problems.

I have tried all the settings in the box (One setting, two choises) and none makes any difference. 


4:3 programming looks fine.

16:9 gets compressed into 4:3. (But, when connected straight to the TV, everything works nicely)


So, what I would LIKE to do as a remedy is have a H-stretch that does NOT increase V-size at all. Is that possible?

Or better yet, does someone have an idea on why this is happening?


(I am about to get a HD-PVR, and capture from the component port of the new STB, but that is a bit into the future for me)



Jan:



Any possibility the unit's video resolution doesn't go up to 1360x768?  If you see 1152x864  or  1024x768 these are 4:3 resolutions.  (I had a problem with my TV's VGA input only going up to 1024x768 -- would put the 16:9 picture within the 4:3 space, so had the black bars on the left and right plus the top and bottom!)
