    It's been a while since I've used a sky box, but i think there is an option under the system settings to change aspect ratio the box sends to the TV . Is it set to 4:3 or 16:9 ?

    Also make sure your tv is not set to Zoom.

    Your tv is working correctly. Why would you want 4:3 pictures stretched to fill a 16:9 frame?
