I cannot view in full screen movies,recorded or live.All other programs are ok.I have tried to adjust picture settings on my tv and Hunax hdr1000s.Any ideas?
Might need a bit more info !
Are you saying you want to make letter box movies (black bars top and bottom) in to full screen 16/9 ?
Obviously letterboxing preserves the film’s original aspect ratio.
…and fullscreening a letterbox movie most often destroys the aspect ratio and you lose edge detail. Playing with this while watching a DVD I’ve seen whole characters disappear off of the picture, ruining the scene.
So why do you want to do it?

What make is your TV, and which settings have you tried?
Can you give an example (with channel and dates) of what does work and what doesn’t?
hi i have the same problem,it happens with a few channells i tried watching itv 4 earlier and it happened again.
these programs can be watched ok on freeview on my tellyvision
All depends on the broadcast format and your STB and TV settings.
You need to decide if formats that don’t fill the screen should loose prospective and be stretched or not.

If you want to view a 4:3 format picture on a 16:9 display without black bars at the sides there are only really two options.
1 Keep the picture the same height and stretch it sideways to fit. As a result a circular object will appear oval (wider than it is tall), and people will look short and fat.
2 Magnify the image equally in all directions such that the sides now meet the edges of the 16:9 display. This of course pushes pixels of the top/bottom or both, off the screen. A figure filling the screen may lose their head and legs and any subtitles will be chopped off.
Similar applies to content wider than 16:9, to see the whole content without distorting it by stretching it vertically you have black bars top and bottom.
If a 4:3 picture from Freeview fills a 16:9 display you must be using settings that are either option 1 or 2.
Most would rather see the whole image with bars rather than a distorted image.
