Hello all. Just wondered does anyone own this or one of the others in the range? I have 2 questions that I would really appreciate answers to. Firstly I have a problem with ratio. Not all channels but some like Dave, E4+1 and Film4, ITV 2, not the standard BBC1, ITV etc, they are in 'wide' on my telly, but not on the HDD recorder when I record them. I've messed about with all the ratios, and the telly ones wont allow you to when you are using the recorder. They are on wide on the Sony Bravia, but not when it goes through the DVD. Some channels not all, but the ones you want!
Secondly, the HDMI cables I was told were ALL I needed to connect to the telly. Were they lying? It didn't find any channels until I put the aerial through the box and then into the telly. Is that right? Did I need the HDMI or would it have just worked with the aerial leads. It certainly didn't work with just the HDMI as I was told that would be all I needed. Could it ever be all you need, just the hdmi from the box to the telly? It couldn't find any channels on the scan till I put the aerial from telly to box and out of box back to telly.
Any help gratefuly needed. Confused as hell...
The widescreen issue is just recording to HDD, not used discs yet. Setting can't be changed and on the HDMI 'full' it just loses the pictures off the screen, it's too much and lousy to watch.
Thanks!
