Aspect Ratio

Use the Aspect Ratio card in Settings to control how programming content appears 
on your TV. For standard-definition (SD) TVs, choose Standard (4:3) only. You’ll then 
be asked to choose how you want HD content to display on your TV, either by  

letterboxing (putting black pillars on the top and bottom of the content) or cropping 

the content to fit.

For Widescreen TVs, determine how standard content displays on your TV by first 

choosing Widescreen (16:9) and then selecting maintain (displays standard content 
as-is), or stretch (stretches the standard content to fill the TV screen).
