Re: [help] 4250 with Std Def TV - How to get rid of Black / Grey

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!

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.

my 4250 remotes dont have a pound key.

On my remote the "FAV" button is just below the 9 button.

Where exactly is this # key? I do not see it on the front of the box, nor on the remote.
It is located on the remote just below the 9 button.

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!
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

 [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!
