Glad to see a thread about DirecTV. Does anyone have an issue with FNC Ch 360 where the screen is oversized, cutting off the top and bottom of the frame? Don’t recall this being a problem before switching to the HD receiver, while FNC still doesn’t broadcast in HD.

Hi NN

Have that problem from time to time.

My format usually is to blame as it goes to a "zoom" mode or some other format.

I reset the format to what I want and it seems OK.

Haven't been able to narrow down when/why this happens. My suspicion is it might have something to do with either a "ping" from DTV through the phone line, or a channel switching from an HD clip to a standard clip and back.

Can't remember if I had the problem before the phone line hook up or not.

Never used the phone line until I wanted to buy a movie and it wouldn't let me do it on-line. (My other standard DVR reminds me that it has been over 900 days since I last "checked-in" with DirecTV.) Then I discovered Caller ID on the HD-DVR receiver. Nice! I use it as a phone book now.

P.S. Good to hear from you!

Drop down to 357 or so and watch Cavuto on FBN in HD.

Nothing like watching Neil rip Maddy Albright a new asshole in 1080i ;)

Hit the format button, under the tv input. Someone accidently changed the format on your tv. I know because my husband did it and made me call Direct tv to fix it.

You have to change the Screen format from Crop to Pillar Box or Stretch.
