Hey Dish!!!! Fix the aspect ratio for Fuel!!!!!

[ZachS@DISH Network]

I took the picture just prior to my post (photo is time stamped.) I did not watch the prelims on FUEL, but every time I turn to FUEL, I see the same aspect ratio as in the picture. I assume I'm on EA, how do I check this? My shows normally come off of sats 110, 119, and 129 (IIRC). I have a 211 in the living room, I'll see what the aspect ratio is on it tonight. Picture was taken from a 622 using HDMI.

If you have 110, 119, 129 you would have a WA setup. To check this you would need to go to the Point Dish and Signal Strength screen. (menu 6-1-1)

I am on EA and I noticed the problem on the prelims as well. I just checked this weeks fight card and the prelims are on FX before the PPV fight.

That would be Western Arc. This means that the problem only affects those of us on the Eastern Arc or dish has fixed the problem sometime after the fights took place on Saturday

We're not talking about it being narrow or stretched looking. If you look at my post on the bottom of the previous page and some way back to the beginning of this thread you will see the real problem.

That picture is not how it looked when the event aired live on Saturday. The clock that shows how much time was left in the round is almost completely cut off. You could only see part of the last number on the clock. The UFC on Fuel logo cut of everything after the F on fuel.

The picture actually looked pretty good to me for SD. The part that was annoying was that you couldn't see how much time was left in the round or even what round it was.

I saw and read your post. On my TV I see what he sees, and it looks to me like the HD feed but in SD. Some programs are narrow and stretched which I don't remember seeing before. As I am writing this I did see one commercial have the ends cut off, it was for an upcoming live event I think.

You must have posted while I was typing. I didn't mean to say the same thing as you right after you said it.

This is good though. I wish they would put all of the prelims on FX instead of Fuel so we could get them in HD. It would be nice if they would put most of the main cards on FX or Fox instead of PPV from now on. I would think the ratings have to be huge on network or cable channels compared to PPV.

I am on Eastern Arc, and I can confirm that I am still seeing the 4x3 aspect ratio. So the problem might be isolated to the Eastern Arc.

My 211, using component video cables to a EDTV, in the living room has the same aspect ratio as my picture from the bedroom. I'm getting the feed from sat 110.
