Direct TV-SD channels?

I just upgraded to HD,getting one genie and two mini-genies. I have 1 HD TV and 2 SD TVs.

Before the upgrade-Direct TV played most of the SD channels in widescreen while there still were some that were stretched. After the upgrade both SD TVs are only receiving a stretched picture on all the channels.

They do have setting adjustments with the mini-genies and the TV's are so old that the picture size can't be adjusted. Any fix too this problem too make on the channels widescreen on the SD TVs?

I also have Charter and most of the channels on the SD sets are in widescreen.

Re: Direct TV-SD channels?

press the info button and scroll over to audio/video and see if any changes work there.

If that doesnt work press menu >settings > display > tv ratio.

Otherwise who knows.
