It depends on whether this is an HD or SD channel. For SD channels you can change the STB settings ("Narrow-to-wide") to stretch the image. For HD channels you cannot do that, because the image is actually 16x9 and the black bars on some SD programs are part of the image the way it is transmitted by your local broadcaster. Some broadcasters actually stretch SD programs on HD channels: again, no way to adjust this within the STB itself.dnyce said:Is their anyway on the Voom reciever to adjust OTA 4:3 SD signal to fit the entire screen? I know I'll loose some quality but I don't think I'll ever get used to the 4:3 look.
Don't count on it. Lots of times I will watch OTA SD fed downconverted through my DVR and set my PJ to Native, this gives me a 1:1 pixel mapping effectively REDUCING the picture size by about 40%, this makes it look very good. I don't care if the image fills my screen, I want it to look the best it can.dnyce said:Even stretched I'm sure the OTA signal looks better than the locals I get from Dish.
