Hi there,
Just a quick, slightly dumb, question regarding TelstraClear Saturn broadcast signals. Is it native 16:9 delivery?
The reason I ask is that up until recently I was using a standard CRT 29" tv to view my Saturn. I moved from that tv on to a 32" lcd tv that I am running Vista Media Center on at 1080i resolution.
Now, Saturn is showing on the lcd tv as a 4:3 display. That is, there are vertical black bars on the left and right of the screen. I've gone into the decoder settings and changed it to 16:9, and played with all the variations of the display preferences. But I can't get Saturn to display without the vertical bars on either side. When I choose 16:9 it does seem to go widescreen "within" the bars, but does not fill the whole display.
I haven't tried the tv at a lower resolution, closer to standard definition, and i won't be trying that because it makes the media center software look terrible. So I'm just wondering if i am missing a setting on the decoder, or if the decoder is bung, or if Saturn just don't broadcast widescreen content?
Any help appreciated.
Mike
