What settings do you use for watching your shows in HD or SD? Pillar Box, Original Format, Stretch, etc? Every setting I try makes the people on the shows look skinny or fat.

I use the 16:9 aspect ratio and pillar box format. The aspect ratio is set using the Setup menu. I hate stretch-o-vision.

This assumes you have a widescreen TV set, also set to 16:9.

You need to "match" these setting with your TV.
What is your setup [DVR & TV]?
HD should not change format.
SD, when I use pillarbox, comes out "normal".

"Too fat or too skinny" is a sign your TV settings and the DVR aren't setup correctly.
