Why is FOX Channel are screwed up?

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 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.

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.
