Guest spikeychris Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Something that has been bothering me for a while. Has anyone noticed that if you watch tele and there is text on the left side of the screen part of the text is missing ie: "live from" will read "ive from" (the L is missing) Same applies sometimes when two presenters are on screen at the same time, part of the left presenters head can be missing (left side) Thought..I know I'll buy a widescreen TV..I did and its still happening. I have tried all formats on the tele including the 16:9 ratio. This happens on all channels with NTL digital as well as terrestrial. Will ask at work on Monday but is there anyone with the answer???

Guest ellas Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 no answer but I got the same problem on telewest,thats when the teletext works most times I have to use the terrestrial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 NTL digital with 32" wide screen, no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spikeychris Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 "NTL digital with 32" wide screen" same as me. Check though when you watching the news, look left at the captions and you will see part missing....well I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 how is your tele linked to your digital box?I have mine linked via scart to my sky box and AUTO SWITCHING is turned on. This makes my tele switch automatically between 16:9 and 4:3 where appropriate. I have no problems on my new 28" widescreen or my old 21" tele....

Redhat Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Ours is a big TV, not widescreen. Exactly the same problem, the reason I endure BBC breakfast because the clock is VIEWABLE so I'm not late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spikeychris Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Lived backwards, I've looked at the auto switch, it seems to stay on the 4:3 option is there something I'm doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 mine is set to 16:9 and Scart Control is On......it has been this way with both televisions....maybe worth a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Must admit I get the same, I have a Panasonic 42" Rear projection widescreen, and Sky News is always cut off at the edges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LB Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 spikeychris, to get back to the topic, have you tried changing the video output mode to RGB instead of PAL, this is under SERVICES>PICTURE SETTINGS?RGB gives a better quality picture and also slightly shifts things on my tele to the right!!

Guest spikeychris Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Lived Backwards, if I have RGB I can't find it. Is this generic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 assuming you have sky TV, press the services button, number 4 (system setup), no 1 (picture settings) and scroll down to video output, use left arrow to change to rgb and goto save new settings and press select. Exit to sky and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
