I don't get it. Why the fuck can't they just put it back the way it was, so that the tv set automatically switches the ratio???
The web stream, of course, remains a horrible stretched monstrosity.

I guess that we'll just have to be thankful that, with manual intervention, we can watch an undistorted image; a BIG improvement over what we have 'suffered' over recent days.
I wonder if, having switched PP to 16F16 (in addition to PL), they want, what I assume is their ‘top’ channel, to look as though it is also widescreen? After all, as mentioned, some people don’t seem to mind/notice, no mater how distorted the image is.

I guess that a second email will be required to correct this? If the last few days is anything to go, their own monitoring/technical checks are worthless/non-existent.

BS now seems to be broadcast in the same way that PP used to be i.e. 4:3 with 16:9 switching signal, which should mean that manually changing to 4:3 will give a true, undistorted, full image
Looks like the email did the trick!
Yes it does rather look like it, given that all of a sudden everything's OK.

It was a pleasant surprise when I switched on my widescreen bedroom tv at midnight last night. Picture was true widescreen. The little box in top corner was oblong not square with 3 girls visible in it. No girls chopped off.
Just checked my PVR recording this morning. This connects to a non widescreen tv. The picture was perfect again with nothing missing and was in 16:9 letterbox mode automatically. First time I've seen it in this mode. Looks just like the Partyland picture now.
Since the problem is now fixed, I will close this thread and some of the recent posts which were not relevant to the problem will be moved to the main Babestation on Freeview channel 33 thread.

Oops! The deadly 4:3 camera is on the loose in the studio again. (But thankfully most output is proper 16:9.)
Sorry, had to post here 'cos the display problem thread is closed.
If anyone at Cellcast is monitoring this, the offender is the roving close-up camera.

I moved the above post into this thread, but its probably best to post programme display problems here
