watching sky tv through projector - screen sizes

[matengawhat]

just wondered if any one has an idea or solution to this - i have my projector and screen set for perfect viewing size but noticed that when changing channels that some times the projected image increases or decrease so no longer fits the screen - anyone know if there is a solution or whether its just down to how the tv companies send out the pictures?

Yep, one never knows if you're going to get a 4:3 picture, 16:9 or any of the other widescreen variants. But go with the 'native' button on your remote and you'll always be viewing as intended

well its not just 4:3 and 16:9 changes but for example bbc sometimes appears 1inch smaller just on the left side for example - I have projector set to native and normally correct but its just annoying as have to get up and increase zoom a little and move projector a tiny fraction - then when change channels back the other way this kind of thing really bugs me!
