I believe this is because your TV is not displaying the 16:9 content.  I had
this problem before when I was trying to display HD content on the non HD
video inputs of my TV.  I have Sony 1080i with 7 video inputs.  Video Inputs
1-3 are not  1080i.   So once I moved to video 7 using a DVI connection I
was getting the full 1080i and all looked good.
