    It’s the same on all channels and has never happened before when the box has the right settings

    In that case you must have changed one of the other settings. I will boot my Foxsat-HDR. It will be in the box TV-Setup options. Generally best to set 16:9

    We just disconnected the tv and the humax, left them off for ten minutes, switched them back on, but no change.

    Thank you!

    You are welcome - I take it that you needed to change this setting ?

    No, I didn’t need to change the settings. It happened as I was trying to change from terrestrial tv back to the humax box.
    I must have touched something on the RC to cause it to happen

    I’ve been into menu, settings, tv setup, and tried every combination of Screen ratio and Display format I can, but to no avail

    What make and model of TV ? Do you have the screen resolution numbers ? I take it is a TV and not a monitor.

    Basically need to check the screen pixel aspect ratio.

    a 1920 x 1080 display has square pixels (1:1 par). Other resolutions may not be square.

    Does the TV have a freeview tuner. Have you any other kit connected by HDMI ?

    Can you try another HDMI cable and or another port on the TV. It might just need the hdmi cable re-seating both ends.

    Sorry to be slow replying Graham. I was waiting for your reply to appear automatically, I realised I had to refresh to get it.
    We have a SamsungLED tv series 5, about nine years old
