sky tv

[Mike]

i know there s a few of you guys (and gals) who are techno freaks i am hoping you can help me sort my sky tv out. i have a lcd widescreen tv (as everyone does) but some channels on my sky don't work in widescreen, they're in the old 4:3 i think . it never used to be like this. the popular channels are ok, it starts at channel 112 then random as you go up. any ideas? it's doing my head in!!:mad2:

Mike,

If you press the "services" button, then "system setup", then "picture settings" you are able to define your picture preferences. Do you need to change these?

I've just cancelled my sky subscription as I was sick and tired of my boxes playing up. I've just installed a freesat HDR box and use the Web for football and Apple tv for all my favourite series that aren't on council telly.

i tried changing the settings daz, but it's still the same. it's only certain channels for some reason. strange eh? both picture format and second picture format are in 16:9 def. any other ideas? thanks

Sky one does this sometimes on mine, since they moved all the HD channels to the front.

As above.. go into settings and choose 16:9 setting..

i done that dave , it was already on that. surely all the channels should be the same? it's only 112 upwards (randomly) that go narrow screen

Then you have a box prob.. have you done a re-set.?

 

[Mike]

i can't do that dave, it'll wipe the hard drive clean and the wife would lose all her programmes. that's more than my life's worth :yikes:
