Folks, I wonder if anyone can help with this problem?
I have an widescreen Orion TV – 32FKC TV32f26 – which I am trying to set permanently on ‘widescreen (16:9)’. I do not have the original remote control for the set, but I find that both a Phillips and a Bush tv remote work almost all of the options, including the one allowing me to set screen size.
However, when the set is linked up to a digital NTL box, the 16:9 widescreen setting reverts to 4: 3on some channels, like Discovery Civilisation, and has to be reset to widescreen while on that channel, each time, which is a real pain. Other channels remain at the 16:9 setting, it seems. When I flick back the troublesome channels, again, though, the set switches back to 4:3, and I have to change the setting again.

The tv does not seem to accept any input from the buttons on the set itself, aside from on/off.
Any suggestions?
