4:3 vs 16:9 screen format on a DMT-1000 DVB FTA receiver

My DMT-1000 receiver puts out a 16:9 screen format picture regardless of what
screen format (4:3 or 16:9) I select on the receiver's System Setting Page in
the Menu. This is noticeable by the vertical squeeze imparted on all channels
when input into a Philips DVD 985 recorder (set to either 4:3 Pan & Scan or 4:3
Letterbox picture modes) and viewed on a conventional 4:3 monitor. I cannot
get a full screen 4:3 screen format picture from the receiver. On the
otherhand, when I input the same signal from the receiver into a VCR I do see a
full screen 4:3 screen format picture (although the red "Wide" indicator is lit
on my Panasonic AG-1980 VCR). Any thoughts/ideas about this (and how to
correct it) are most appreciated.

This group seems to mainly talk about Analog C/Ku TVRO and there are some
people who get off on yelling at you for posting off topic. I suggest
going to www.satforums.com You will most likely find someone there who has
a solution for this problem.

How is a question about a digital receiver off topic? As long as it is
a DVB or DigiCipher receiver, and not DBS.

Its been some time but I recall some jackass pointing out this was TVRO and
that these questions should be in alt.video.satellite.mpeg-dvb

I think you need to adjust your font size. Where did I say his post was off
topic?

Maybe you should adjust yours, as well. Where did I say that you said
it was?

I didn't realize that my inquiry might not be appropriate in this group. I
also didn't realize that there are some other groups I could pose my question
in -- thanks for pointing them out. My thinking in posting my question in this
group was that since the DMT-1000 is slaved off of my Monterey 55 IRD that
perhaps some other TVRO user might have had the same experience I have had.
