Hi everyone,

Got a strange problem with Freeview. We have a Hyundai HSS-760A STB. Works well enough, but it doesn't seem to be sending the aspect ratio to the TV. The TV's a Sony Bravia, and is set to "Auto Wide" mode which means it will switch aspect ratio depending on the input signal.

A few months ago, TV3 would switch to wide, and C4 wouldn't.
Then, C4 would switch to wide.

And then a few weeks back, neither of them would switch to wide.

At the same time, initially, the TVNZ WIDE channel wouldn't switch, but now it does. And TVNZ Sport Extra doesn't.

So the box CAN send the right signals to the TV, but isn't for all channels.

If the box is set for 4:3 mode, it will letterbox all widescreen channels (3, 4, Sport Extra and Wide/TVNZ 6).

Anyone had any experience with this STB and know what could be wrong? I've also tried it on another TV with the auto-detecting feature and the same problem occurs. The box is connected using composite video. Haven't tried S-Video though - is it worth a try?

Oh, and Windows Media Center on Vista figures it out fine. It's not really going to be much of an issue in the long term as TVNZ broadcasts in widescreen, but it's very inconvenient having to switch the AR when flicking channels!
