Thanks for the Help Darren. By squashed I mean that the TV is showing a 'full' picture which is not in the correct aspect ratio, no pillar boxing. When a 4:3 is being transmitted I have to switch my TV into 4:3 mode and the tv puts in its own blank sides and the picture is correct. Watched bbc3 Apprentice last night, it shows pillar-boxing and no change is necessary, but surely that is 16:9 in stream (I did not check) so it should look ok anyway. The problem is when a 4:3 stream is being sent and dbv is set to 16:9, the 4:3 picture is sent to my tv in 16:9 format and the tv does not automatically switch. Is this a vdr / driver problem?
