[You are connecting your digibox to the TV with a scart lead, yes? Not being funny, but in case you don't know, this is a scart lead:-

You will not get proper widescreen pictures from a normal TV ariel coax lead, nor will you get true widescreen from a terrestrial analogue signal. i.e. direct from the TV ariel.

Thank you for reiterating this Si and for jogging my memory as to what a scart lead looks like :whistle: but I assure you all the settings are correct, I just think widescreen TV's in general are a personal dislike of mine

as I said, I wish I'd never bought one :roll:

Well, it's a shame you don't get the enjoyment from it that you should do. People should not looked 'squashed', if you have the settings correct. If you lived round the corner, I'd pop round and sort it for you!

I have to back you up there, Bev. I have a Panasonic all singing all dancing 100hz telly and the picture quality doesn't compare, even with adjusting the settings to that of my Sony 29" square screen. It's ok if what your watching is in digital viewing but some programmes are put out in analogue and that's where the oval balls come into play while watching the snooker.

Sadly, I remember even the earliest of those tellys! And one of my neighbours had the screen magnifier too!

We had one of those coloured filters which you hung across the screen, to make a black and white TV appear to be colour, for those who couldn't afford or receive colour back in the early 70s. It was blue at the top, orangy in the middle, and green along the bottom. The only programmes it ever worked with, was horse racing! :grin:
