My brother bought a 62" Mitsubishi TV. For some reason all the sudden the scores are cut off at the bottom of the screen on channels that show the scores. On the HD channels their is no problem. He can't find his User's manuel so i thought maybe someone here would know the problem. Thanks
HD TV question

I have mitsubishi 65 inch hd, check the form at on the tv remorte make sure its set to standard. it may be on widescreen
hey pick when i hit the format button (i assunme this is what you mean) it says 1080i crop. This isnt my tv and this stuff is way over my head so talk to me like i am a two year old.
pick it worked but now every channel not in HD has that god awful grey bars on each side of the screen
pen i can't find anything in the menu that says aspect ratio. It has about six diff things but when i click on them none have anything tthat says that.
1080i tells you that channel is picking up an HD signal, you can't/don't want to change that.
OK, the problem is for regular tv you need to be watching in 4x3 and in HD you watch in 16x9. There should be a setting on your TV that you can select which will distinguish them for you, what will happen is when you are watching regular non-HD tv the picture will stretch to fit the screen and at first you will hate this, but you will get used to it.
On HD stations you will get a picture across the whole screen ONLY when they are broadcasting in HD, on an HD station when the program is not broadcast in HD you will get the grey bars on the right and left side of the TV, again, nothing you can do about it.
Look through the setup menus and try to find something that let's you adjust between aspect ratios, or even on that give you options like Widescreen/Superwide/4x3/etc.... make sure this is set to widescreen.
HDTV sets have their ups and downs at first, you will get used to all of them and love it after a week.

Just call your Cable provider, they'll walk you through the set up over the phone, I had to do that, not a big deal.
my 62 inch screen is now a 38 inch screen with those bars on it. My brother says the same thing i will get used to it. Silly why this can't be fixed.
That is the native format HD is broadcasted in, and yes you will get used to it over time, it sucks at first though.
