Aspect ratio issue

So I'm watching the season premier of Burn Notice recorded from USA on my HD-100, and I'm getting a funky aspect ratio issue -- the whole picture is bordered with a thick black letterbox, sides, top and bottom. I'm new to the HD-100 and to a 16x9 TV, so I can only guess what's happening. My best guess: USA broadcasts the show formatted 16x9, but it's SD, which is 4x3, so USA adds letterboxing on the top and bottom. The HD-100 sees a 4x3 program and, in order to display it on a 16x9 TV, adds letterboxing on the sides.

Is there any way to get round this and see it on the whole screen?

see http://forums.sage.tv/forums/showthr...712#post252712. The sample letterbox shown should correct your problem.
