Thanks for responding. My cable box is a old analog set. There is no such
setting available within the box. I hope upgrading the box is not my only
solution.

I've setup a Media Center PC (Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005),
connected to WinTV-PVR-150 MCE Kit with the PCI slot. After setting up
the
TV
signal on my PC through the cable set box, I've tried to network to my
Xbox
360 to the LCD TV (Samsung R71) in a separate room.

For some reasons, the LCD TV screen projected the image at 4:3, instead
of
the full 16:9 aspect ratio. I've tried both the setup at PC (via Media
Center
- Set up TV signal) and confirmed that my TV screen size is set at
16:9.

Can you advise how to set the screen projected to PC at 4:3 and most
importantly, project a 16:9 full screen to my LCD TV via Xbox 360
extender?
