Sky Sports 1 picture falling off the screen

Anyone else note that the bottom line, where the score and info line is, is falling off the bottom of the screen on the current game between Peterborough and Southampton ?

Or is it just me ?

V+ connected via HDMI

Re: Sky Sports 1 picture falling off the screen

Same with me but on a standard STB connecting via scart lead. The only way I can get the score up is when I scale up my Sony tv display to smart mode (exaggerated widescreen) then press the up cursor to display the score.


With the problem with Sentanta aspect ratio I am getting fed up with broadcasters displays at the moment

Seems a little low here, but the text is on-screen. Samsung STB via RGB Scart.

Edit: Mind you, I did spend ages in the engineers' menu for my TV to get the bare minimum of overscan so I can see that on an un-adjusted TV it could easily be off-screen.

Re: Sky Sports 1 picture falling off the screen

Weird fix : I changed the output from 720p wide to 1080i wide and that did the trick....

Why should this be the case ? Premiership games and cricket are fine, just that League Cup game tonight which caused a problem. Bizarre.

One or the other (or maybe both) will need rescaling to fit the native resolution of your TV. I'd guess the result of rescaling is a slightly different picture height. Combine that with Sky placing the captions unusually low, and the result is the captions to fall off the bottom on one but not the other.
