Screen ratio problems starview 3

[Shamster]

Hi, I just flashed my mates starview 3 with the new firmware and on checking it had worked realised that his screen ratios seemed to be far better than my own box. I always knew that screen ratios were a problem on starviews so just accepted losing some of my picture occassionally. On seeing his box I would like to know if there is anything I can do to my own box to make it better or is it just a difference in hardware that makes this occour?

Good point. I only every got stretched 4:3 on some channels, setanta mainly, but on other starviews i've seen it proper 16:9. How comes?

[jimbo]

no expert perhaps clones u have? have u gone into menu and set ur aspect ratio?

[Shamster]

Hi again, no I haven't set up my aspect ratio. Could you please tell me how to set it up please?

[jimbo]

press menu then edit set up scroll down to aspect ratio change to 16.9 ok then exit.
