Sky+ HD Picture.

MrFrisp

Hi Guys,

I changed my Sky+ box over to a Sky+ HD box..It's a secondhand HD box.

I haven't got the card paired to it yet,as I'm having a small problem.

I can view some of the HD channels,like SyFy,,but when I do,there are 2 big black lines down the either side of the screen. It's like CinemaScope except the lines at the side,rather than a the top and bottom.

I also have a OpenboxS9,which is also connected by a HDMI lead,and to the same TV,and I get the same problem on that.

It's not happening with all the HD channels,,just some of them.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I've tried all the picture settings on both those boxes,and still can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Sounds like the programmes being broadcast on the channels you are on are in SD - try the channels again later when the channel is showing a broadcast that you know is 100% HD

If you haven't paired the card how are you getting any picture?

Because normally you only need to pair the card to view the premium channels.
