Re: unable to obtain 16x9 on digital channels

I am using digital tuners (Pace DC550P if it matters) connected via S-video.
Do you think I may need to change some settings on the STB? I have thought
about switching the STB hookups to the tuners to see what difference that may
make (the problems I have noted have been on the 'older' 150 card). I have
some literature on the STB and can check that and try to change some
settings. Appreciate your timely responses.. before reloading drivers I
will try other options.

It sounds like you are using digital cable boxs to feed the Hauppauge
tuners with S-Video or RF output.
Since your cable box downscales any "HD" channels to NTSC 4:3 SD 480i
resolution prior to output over S-video or RF I an not sure why you think
the problem you are having is with your NTSC tuner cards. Do you have the
cable box set indicate that your "display" (the 150 cards) are 4:3 aspect
ratio devices.

Please correct any misconceptions I might have in the above about your
configuration.

Your problem may also be being caused by the settings for you graphics card
or for your decoder software

Update: 3 channels in the standard package (50, 66 and 69) do not come up
full screen (16x6); all of the digital channels do. My hidef channels are
in
the 700 range. Of the high def channels, only 5 of the 8 are 16x9.
Again,
the 'i' control cannot not address this. I am going to try to remove and
rerun the Hauppauge card set up. thanks for the response.

All digital channels are not 16:9 most are SD 4:3 480i.
All "HD" 16:9 channels are however digital.

I have a media PC I built with two 150 tuners. It was working fine.
Had
to
replace the motherboard and video card. When I reloaded the software,
I
now
get full screen on my channels 1-75; but on the digital channels (100+)
it
is
not full screen. Even when I use the "i" button (more), I am unable to
get
the picture to fille the screen. Any suggestions ... I believe I
reloaded
all programs with their updated drivers. Anyone had this problem
before?
Thanks,
