Don't forget some cable boxes also have aspect ratio settings.

That is the way it SHOULD look, but the FOX channel has been having that problem for the longest. And is the ONLY channel doing that! :mad:

Mine is good we have dish but we will switch back if we lose fox and 17 like they are saying which I hope we do I hate dish love directv

If it's only the Fox channel it's an issue with your cable provider.

If you adjust the aspect ratio it will be a smaller picture but it won't solve your issues.

well I'm here on the west coast.... and using Dish Network, I have a HD FOX and non HD... pretty much all my channels are like that because the TV with the box has an HDMI cable, I am using a coaxial cable with a signal from the box.. So i am using the non HD channel and its fine, the HD channel looks like yours

By talking to co-workers that is the problem with FOX here, thier HD channel. Have to switch the TV to non HD channel to be able to watch it like in any other channel.

I had the exact same problem when I switched from cable to satellite tv.

The new cable box defaulted to a "zoom" setting on HD channels to get rid of the black-border areas that are normal on an HD channel. I set it back to normal and it got rid of it.

All you guys complaining about not being able to watch Fox on Cablevision....buy an antenna! :tiphat:

Is not being able to watch it, is the way is seen on the TV screen. The rest I think is problem between the cable company and Warner Brother.

Correction, News Corp owns Fox.

I had the unfortunate oportunity to work for that company and know their tactics first hand.

Buying a digital converter and antenna is a good idea for you Cablevision customers, this might last long.

Looks like Cox Cable (halfway) fixed the problem here in VA, now you can see the correct width on the screen from the camera on the field. However is like you are watching a movie in widescreen without a LCD TV (black top and bottom) :dunno:

At least the game looks better!

Congrats on the win.

Did you try to adjust the picture in the TV's settings menu? Not sure if it would help but it's worth a try.

No I don't really want to mess with it because is only one channel and then I'll fcked up...:icon14:

Man, I came in here expecting something completely different.

DAMN, freaking COX Cable is doing the same $hit during the World Series again!!! Why they don't leave it in widescreen TV like the last couple games. Freaking cable companies! :mad: :mad: :mad:
