| [help] 4250 with Std Def TV - How to get rid of Black / Grey Bar I am using a 4250 with a standard definition TV in order to reclaim the channels moved to digital. Is there a way to configure the 4250 to remove the black and grey bars that appear on the top / sides when viewing the HD channels?
Thanks!

Thanks! On a standard TV, when you view non-HD content through the HD box on an HD channel -- you will see bars on top and bottom.. On HD content on a standard TV, you will see bars on top & bottom. The solution is to get an HD 16:9 television, or you can muck around with the zoom settings on the box with the # key |

| Where exactly is this # key? I do not see it on the front of the box, nor on the remote.

my 4250 remotes dont have a pound key.
hit settings, and there should be a setting for zoom. |

Sorry, didn't realize the non-DVR iO remotes lack the pound key.. The DVR remote has it -- on remotes with a # key, that key does the zoom function. Without it, as the previous poster said, hit Settings once, and then choose the 'Picture Size' option to change it. |

ONLY for Hi-def channels... I noticed that I cannot change the pix size when using the composite video [yellow] output, which you're probably using into your std def TV. The pix dimension options only work when using the component [r-g-b] or HDMI outputs.
So, a guess you're stuck with gray borders if using the composite video output.
At least that's what I think. I've only had my HD box for an hour! |
