Terrestrial TV on Widescreen LCD

Hi All, Just got a new LCD tv (Acoustic Solutions 19 TV/DVD combo in Argos) hooked up to a aerial. The problem is that it only has two aspect ratio's (16:9 4:3) and in both of them there's wasted screen at the top and bottom. This was even a problem playing a 4:3 DVD. In 4:3 mode the viewable area was only 15". Is the TV…

Hi All,

Is the TV just incompatible with the old analogue broadcasts or am I doing something stupid!

TIA
