Is everyone experiencing automatic stretch-o-vision on this channel?

Nope, 4:3 for me.

4:3 for me

4:3 here as well.

 

[levibluewa]

Not here...

2 different sets, 2 different software versions. Its 4:3 when you change to the channel...as soon as the banner disappears the picture goes 16:9.

And I might add...

IT IS NOT HD I was wondering if it had to do with the Olympic coverage. Also, all other channels seem ok.

 

[levibluewa]

Wow, this is weird!

Both boxes are H20s; different software version. When you go to change the channel it momentairly goes 4:3 before the channel changes. When you switch say from 354 to 356 is 4:3 until the banner disappears then snaps to 16:9.

Format button is disabled when viewing 356 in auto expansion. If you go to 354 you're able to verify format as 1080 pillar box. ???????

Can't say I've experienced the problem.

I have mine set to native for 760p and 1080i only options and pillar box. Whenever I go from a 1080i channel to an SD channel it defaults to the 760p native. I actually think SD looks slightly better at 760p than 1080i so not a problem. I wish Comedy Central looked as good in SD as MSNBC does.

760p ?
