For example, if you're viewing a 4:3 broadcast on a mode set at 4:3 (which seems appropriate for a standard television) it won't zoom. sometimes if your standard TV is large enough, like 19" or bigger, some broadcasts will appear 'windowboxed' in the dead-center and won't expand to fill the screen. the fix is to go into MENU--->OPTIONS, and TV type, and select '16:9 widescreen', and return to TV viewing, and then attempt zoom, and it will expand to fill the screen with no noticeable loss of quality. the same rule applies if you're selected at 16:9 widescreen and it's a 16:9 picture showing up and won't zoom and you're letterboxed (top and bottom has black bars) set the TV for 4:3 standard and re-attempt zoom. will work fine. kinda stupid but that's the only way you'll have a full-screen on some broadcasts.

OK man, +1 for you on this one, and I'll give you another 1 tomorrow if you can tell me how to do a full zoom on my direcTV unit.

(Hint: It's not possible, but I wish it was)
