Hi,

Did anyone have problems with widescreen switching last night on sky stuff (bbc, film four, sky movies widescreen etc)?
Everything was displaying at 4:3 for me, with condensed images where the widescreen stuff should be. I checked the telly settings and tried out a dvd to test, and all were fine, I also checked my 'picture settings' in the sky settings and it was set up for 16:9.

anyone else notice problems?

WS TVs use a relay to switch to the different modes when widescreen is sensed.
Quite possibly your internal relay is sticking in 4/3 mode.
Then again maybe not.
