Why does the image on my TV look like I have zoomed into the program?

Question

The top and bottom of the image is cut off. The picture is clear and find, I just don't have the top or bottom of whatever program I'm watching. For instance, if I'm watching the news, I cannot see the ticker at the bottom of the screen or if it says "Live" at the top of the screen, I don't see it. Any ideas?

I'm using Dish Network DVR, Wide screen Toshiba projection TV, and a Magnavox DVD player/recorder.

to your Toshiba's owner's manual for details.

Answer 4

I dont use dish network but I have used both direct tc and cox cable and they are all the same. With the new HD boxes you can have different aspect ratios for the screen. So yes, there is a botton that will zoom in or stretch the picture. Just figure out what buttont that is on your remote and click it.
