TV screen size

[JoshC]

I'm useless with technology, was wondering if anyone could help my long running predicament. On my tv (42" widescreen) it seems to cut off the edge of the picture, its fine most of the time, watching football seems ok with the score visable etc. but when writing comes up on the screen the ends of words are sometimes cut off as if the tv is zoomed in too far. SSN is also cut off ridiculously to the point i only see half of the fixtures on the right of the sreen and half of the name of the team on the vidiprinter, ive changed simply changing screen size and that doesnt work, any ideas would be appreciated.

Had the same problem.

Services > System setup > Picture settings and change the picture format to 16:9 and save settings.

The cynic in me suggests that upgrading to Sky HD will miraculously solve the problem!!

I have the same on my 32 inch. I suspect it might not be our TV's fault..

Sage advice. I've been trying to figure this out for ages, thanks

The Sky Sports news thing is to do with the settings on your sky/virgin etc box. They need to be changed and not the settings for your TV.
