HR10-250 Screen Ratios Non Linear Needed
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

They need to improve the screen "ratios" selection to include a graduated non linear, "wide" selection like most boxes offer so a 4x3 image can fill a 16x9 space without making everyone look too fat.

Most TV's can't apply their own ratio adjutment to a digital picture so it has to happen in the box. Most do so by keeping the center of the picture accurate, streching the sides and zooming in a little.

Need this feature in next upgrade.

Agreed - Also a way to remove sidebars on OTA Digital channels, when the broadcast is not in HD. Almost every DirecTV HD Receiver before the HR10-250 had this feature (ie: Hughes e86 receiver).
