Are you getting the black bar on one side or both the right and left sides when viewing other than HDTV? If it is on both sides try using your aspect button in conjunction with the pg up/down buttons to change aspects. You may desire to change the scaling setting of your monitor. Basically a majority of programming is still in the 4:3 aspect ratio which will show the black bars on the sides of the picture when using at 16:9 aspect ratio. DVI is more accurately designed to pass actual digital digital signal and should give a slightly better picture(if your eyes are able to notice the difference.)KDRE said:
Im getting the black bar on the right side of the screen.
Im using DVI by the way on a RPTV.
I wouldnt mind the bar if I knew it wouldnt leave a streak on my tv (which hasnt happened btw), it just concerns me a bit,
But when I had directv, I never had that problem. I could zoom the picture and no bars would be there. With Dish (Im guessing with the DVI) I cannot zoom the television with the actual tv remote. With the Dish remote I can zoom the picture, but it leaves the thin black bar on the side.
With Voom I had that problem on my non HD locals.
Is this normal?

With the 811 the TV may or may not change it's aspect ratio, my Sony does it depending on the signal. However the 811 has it's own aspect ratio adjustments, either hit the * or page up button when watching tv and you'll cycle through the different setting.
On an RPTV I'd leave the DVI hooked up.

Have you tried adjusting your picture? Go into the HD setup part of the menu and try the ADJUST and move it to the right. If you put up a channel like ESPNHD with the graphics for a sidebar, you can easily center the picture.
