Does the Panasonic box not have a 16:9 letterbox setting ? That would
solve her problem.


Well I tried all permutations and nothing seemed to give correct aspect

ratio
on both widescreen and 4:3 broadcasts. Maybe I missed something. I must

admit
it was Friday afternoon.


Never buy a Friday afternoon aerial from you then eh?

I get even worse on Saturday, and on Sunday I'm just atrocious!

if it was a TUCT20 then the correct setting is 4:3 for a non-widescreen
telly (you don't ever need to change it), but there's a bug in it in 4:3
mode which displays the aspect ratio wrongly. (Everything is stretched a
bit horizontally making people look fat).

If everything was stretched vertically you must have got it set to 16:9.

BTW Bill, how can an aerial rigger specialise in BOTH domestic and
commercial aerial systems. Surely you'd be a specialist rigger if you
specialised on one or the other or something specific, like 101 ways to
clip a length of CT100 to a pole.... or are you a specialist because you
actually know what you're doing?!

Specialist in this context means "No, I don't do cookers, mate"
