Hi guys,

I recently got an HD PVR 2u, picture quality looks better than my 1110 on a 47" cause of the upscalling of STD channels. My problem is when I set the PVR either on 4:3 or 16:9 (under Personalise) or to fit on my TV screen (Shift + TV Guide) and then I switch source either TV's USB or BP or when I put the PVR on standby, the next time I wanna watch dstv it shows a small screen on my TV almost half the size of the TV but centred, then I have to either go back to Personalise settings or Shift + TV Guide everytime and this irritates me. Is there a way of saving these setting on my PVR? Is there a chance that my TV could be changing these setting (in other words does the TV detect the video signal and then adjust itself? although I am almost certain its the PVR because that where I correct this all the time).
 
afaik you need to make sure your TV is set to 16:9 (not auto or 4:3) - anything else could cause some aspect ratio problems. Is your PVR connected via HDMI cable?
Then check/set the PVR to 16:9/letterbox in the aspect ratio (think this is ARC1), otherwise just cycle though shift-TV Guide until it looks right. Also are you pressing OK to save the settings? When I first got my PVR I used to set everything up then exited, thus losing the settings...
 
Thanks Howard,

I have sorted it out now, its ARC 3, I hadn't noticed that you could change ARC under personalise.
