May 16, 200520 yr I bougt a new 42 inch Plasma and while watching UBC the pictures changes sizes on its own. Anyone else experience anything like this?
May 16, 200520 yr The newer wide screen format TV's have circuitry which permits them to "stretch" a standard TV picture (ratio 4:3) into the wide screen ratio (16:9). It can do this in several ways. If you have the TV select the best way automatically, it might get "confused" by the broadcast signal and start switching modes ad hoc. If this happens then take it out of auto mode and select the wide screen setting that best suits the program you are watching.

May 28, 200520 yr I'm about to buy a 42" plasma. Can somebody please let me know which UBC channels are transmitted in a format which fills the screen without too much distortion?. I mainly watch BBC, HBO, Cinemax, and the football, do these particular channels look good? It's frustrating that the shops don't have a UBC signal in order to test this, silly when you consider that most people who can afford plasmas will probably be using UBC.
