    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.

    That should be fine. It's a Full-HD 1920 x 1080 display.

    Have you got another HDMI source attached ?

    More than a bit baffled. No issue with my TV (it's a 2160P 4K OLED).

    Try playing with the HDMI cables as I suggested.

    Next action - photograph your recording schedule and then do a reset to factory defaults on the Foxsat-HDR.

    The picture is no longer elongated, but it doesn’t fill the screen widthways, only top to bottom

    Try this with the vformat set to 720p. All this shows is the Foxsat is outputting what it should.

    What DVD disks do you have. The aspect ratio should be on the back. Many are wider than 16:9 these should have black bars top and bottom. If not the DVD player settings are incorrect. If you can find a 16:9 one it should fill the screen with no black bars.

    I will see if i can find a series 5 manual on-line

    I looked out of the window and a neighbour was passing who happens to be a tv engineer..... he pressed a button on the tv control named p-size and chose the right one and bingo! It’s OK.
    Many, many thanks for your time and patience! I really appreciate it.
