You didn't me mention what your TVs aspect ratio is, or if the picture
appears to be stretched or squashed.

TV3 are broadcasting 4:3 material in 16:9 pillar boxed, ie with black bar=
s
on the left and right. If you have a 16:9 TV the picture you are seeing i=
s
correct, and if you have an issue you need to speak to TV3.

If you have a 4:3 TV you can play with the aspect ratio settings in MythT=
V
to select a mode you prefer.

Hope this makes sense..
