Problem recording RTE - picture is squashed by DVD recorder

    Anyone having problems recently recording from RTE1 (via NTL analog)?

    My DVD recorder (Pioneer DVR-420) seems to detect something in the signal and thinks that it's a 4:3 picture that needs to be squashed down into 16:9 widescreen to be presented correctly.

    But it isn't - it's a standard 14:9 compromise ratio picture and the squashing ruins it. Luckily my TV has some options to squeeze and stretch the picture is cases like these, but it shouldn't have to! :mad:

    It's fine during the ad breaks, it only messes up during the actual programs.

    Can you change the setup of the DVD recorder to record in 4:3? (I know it's 14:9 but thats the way its going into the TV)

    I had the same problem with a Philips DVD recorder when I tried to record widescreen stuff from Sky
