Output aspect ratio wrong

[HookedOnTV]

I have 3 HD200's. Two are connected via HDMI and one is component. The one connected via component comes up letterboxed for everything. Like HD OTA that should be 16:9 filling the screen comes up letterboxed squished. I have to change the aspect ratio to fill for it to be correct. It's a real pain to have to do this every time I change the channel. Anybody else see this? I've verified all configuration settings are correct as far as I can see.

I had this problem recently, and the extender was configured for 4:3 mode (but the TV was 16x9). Once I reset the extender to 16:9, the 16:9 HD OTA content displayed properly.

As I don't have any 4:3 TVs, I have no idea how the extender got set to 4:3.

How do you reset the placeshifter aspect ratio. I have been trying to do that on my client.

Thanks!
