    Hi there I have a starview 2 The box. Its working fine apart from one thing.

    On the menu settings I have it set to full screen so it fully fills my widescreen tv.

    But after I turn it off it goes to 4:3 mode with the black borders at the side of the picture.

    I have to go back into the settings menu I select letter box then back to full picture for it to return again.

    Has anyone else had this problem and can it be resolved.

    Any help appreciated

    Many thanks

    All the instructions will be in the box you will need a computer with a serial port to load in the software.

    Its very easy though and step by step instructions will be included.
