Incorrect Aspect Ratio On Scify
Anyone noticed this problem? I was flipping through the channels yesterday and found that for two shows that I checked at the time (Stargate and Voyager) the aspect ratio was wrong.
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

No, I watched a rerun of Voyager the other night, aspect was fine.
It may be a setting somewhere on my iQ3, that I remember has something to do with auto changing Aspect ratio for 4:3 shows to user choice. Yep found it in settings Picture Display/4:3 program display. I have it set to 14:9, other choices are stretch or pillar box.
I'm can't remember if the show is actually recorded in 4:3 or 16:9 originally.
I also have my output resolution set to 1080P not auto.
Not sure if you have an iQ3 or an iQ1 or 2 or whether settings are similar.
I also quite often zoom/stretch shows in 14:9 & 21:9 up to full screen with a quick press of my Sony TV remote.
The show is on again at 5:30 pm I'll have a look at it for you with my iQ3 & MyStar HD see what it does.

OK, just checked & both boxes show Voyager in 4:3 AR. Looks like a pillar box picture with black sides.
That's what it was recorded/produced in & it easily expands to full screen with no distortion on my Sony at the press of a button.
The show on SciFi before was in 16:9 & needed no expansion/zoom to fill the screen.
I reckon you just forgot how old these shows are.lol

Sometimes when you set a certain setting for AR on your STB, you need to turn off any kind of auto-adjust on the TV set. The two often fight each other. Set the one permanent, and play with the other one.
True freedom is the greatest gift a man can possess, yet is the one thing most easily and innocently given away, to crafty curses and binds cleverly disguised as blessings and gifts, in the pursuit of supposed achievement, status and power.
