You can see that on the HD channel the image is smaller than on the SD channel. why is this?

Answer 1

it is actually the settings that you have on the cable box.

most of the time it is labeled as 'format' on the cable remote.

or you can try to call them and ask for the settings that you can do so that both regular and HD channels will fill up the whole screen automatically.

Good Luck!
