I am thinking of buying a freesat freetime I have a free view with you view which is faulty and has to be returned.It was driving me crazy with the picture size on some programs. I contacted Humax and they said it can’t be changed unless I can change it with the tv which I can’t.My tv won’t change size in grim. Humax said if I buy the freesat freetime I can adjust the picture on the box help please please please I don’t know where to turn Mary
What do you think was wrong with the picture size?
It’s a skinny bit in the middle of the screen
I am surprised that your Samsung TV can not adjust at all. I previously had a Samsung TV which could adjust the channel 4 HDMI input although not as ideally as my present Sony TV. Which model is your Samsung TV?

You mean it is an older programme shot in 4:3 ratio and intended to be viewed in 4:3 ratio?

As I recall, 4:3 programmes are output as 16:9 Letterbox by YouView. Hence might well be beyond the capacity of the OP’s Samsung to adjust.
Edit. Not letterbox – the 4:6 picture is centred in a 16:9 black surround. What’s that called?
The TV series 6 54in about 7 years or just over it says in the book it can’t alter settings in hdmi
What options do you get if you cycle through the TV set’s aspect ratio settings?
One option is to watch such programmes over a SCART lead connection.
(4:3 in a 16:9 frame is called pillarbox.

Thanks.
Thanks but then you lose the picture quality but also a nuisance to have to keep changing over or can you use both at the same time.As this has to go back anyway I was told by Humax that this problem could be overcome by buying the freesat freetime 1 tb.I don’t want to part with my hard earned money if that’s incorrect.Can I say a big thank you to everyone for your help Mary

I’m surprised Humax suggested a Freesat box. You would think they’d point you towards the HDR-2000T, which is their current Freeview model. Assuming the HDR-2000T has the picture adjustment options you’re looking for, that is.
PS don’t stop helping I don’t know where to turn for information except here I have googled every combination of questions I can think of about this.It hasn’t worked. Mary
Maybe because of the freetime I don’t know I wanted the catch up features. Mary
Mary, please would you give a couple of different examples of a specific programme and the channel that it is broadcast on where the aspect ratio is not ideal.
