Did anyone else's 622 TV2 output change formats recently?
I have an HD 16:9 tv on TV1. So, if available, on that TV I typically watch the HD channel in "Normal" format. If no HD version of a channel is available, I would watch the SD channel in "Normal" format (I can't stand stretch-o-vision).
On TV2, I have an old SD 4:3 TV. So, previously, on that TV I would always watch the SD channels. However, before I always had to watch the SD channels in "Stretch" mode, otherwise the screen would be compressed and I would get black bars on the side with a *skinny* picture in the middle. Switching to "Stretch" mode, pushed out the bars and made the picture in the middle the correct aspect and fill the screen.
Obviously, this meant I was always swapping format modes back and forth on the SD channels depending on which TV I was watching.
Now, the TV2 output is correct on SD channels in "Normal" mode. So I no longer have to switch to "Stretch". Overall, it makes me happy, one less button to press. However, I noticed on the local broadcast channel SD feed, I couldn't get the whole picture on TV2. Parts of the image on boths sides were clipped. However, watching the HD channel correctly letterboxes the image, I think.
Anywhoo... just wondering if anyone else was seeing this change, or am I just crazy? :eek2:
