Hi,
I just got the Dish 622 hooked up to a 50" Toshiba through component cables. I have 1080i and 16x9 selected for the output type. HD looks fine, however the SD programming is in different sizes depending on the channel w/the TV set to native/natural mode and the 622 set to "Normal" format. Most have black bars on the side and some have black bars on all sides. With SD, I don't like the 4x3 with bars, but using the "Stretch, Partial Zoom and Zoom" the pictures look too distorted. Does this sound normal?
Now with my old Dish 508 and 301 tuners hooked up through S-Video, I just used the "Theater Wide - 1" format and my Toshiba TV and it did a great job of filling the whole screen with very little distortion. But if I try it now, it just makes it worse. Also with the above setup, the "Full" format is greyed out and unusable on my TV. Is this normal and is there anyway to get the SD broadcasts to display like they did with my 508 and 301?
Thanks.
David
