Default Re: "Converting" 4:3 to 16:9 (Aspect Ratios)

Just a couple of days ago I transferred to a newer Virgin Tivo box and was shocked that the default settings caused 4:3 films to be stretched to 16:9. The automatic settings for viewing with correct aspect ratio are available but are rather obscure and demanded some experimenting before I got them to work.

I'm sure that most people will just put up with "fill the screen regardless" not realising that they can change it.
