The picture is too big for the tv. I can not see all that is avai

Buy a bigger TV?
Check your sat receiver display and TV display settings

You can change the picture size by using either the TV remote or the cable box remote (which ever you are using). Just go into the TV settings option, scroll through the different options that adjust everything from color and tint, sound, contrast, etc, and you should find one for changing the screen size (my Sony TV can be changed from normal, and wide, to wide zoom).

Hi!
My name is Chris.
I have this Phillips Wide Screen TV that didn't have or come with a remote, so I had to go out and buy a universal remote for it today from a BIG W Store. I'm having some technical difficulties & problems with switching and turning it on, but as I use the universal remote to turn on the TV, I'm having a bit of a slight problem with it turning it on, Ok, Yes, it works and Powers on, but there is nothing showing or giving me the indication that there is no picture or sound showing up on this Wide Screen Phillips TV, But there is a little red & green light at the bottome right hand corner that keeps on flashing red when ever I use the universal remote to switch the power on. Is there a possibility, that i can get some help on here, to help me out with any suggestions, is to why I'm not getting any picture or sound showing up on this TV with this universal remote ? Is there anyway that i can maybe get some help with this to help me out with solving my issue with the Phillips Wide Screen TV ?

The picture is controled by the zoom on the tv remote and on the reciever remote. if you're looking at Wide screen containt the your screen will be black on the top and bottom, zooming will make it fit but you will loose some left and right info. Only HD containt formated for home tv's will, like Oasis, or National geographics, ect will give you full screen. Wide screen is for Movie theaters not TV. This realy sucks but to get a large Wide Screen Picture, You have to buy a supper large tv otherwise, the Wide screen image is small and wide and preaty much anoying with a short wide picture with black bands on top and below..
Sorry. We all have to live with this stuff.

Hello
You have only stated that the height of the picture of your TV is less. Check whether your TV is working on "wide" mode. The mode should be set to "normal" for a full screen picture. There may option to turn the mode; through remote control handset of your tv. Select it, after entering into menu option and check. There are normally 3 modes will be displayed. "NORMAL, WIDE, ZOOM". You have to select "Normal" mode. If this does not helps, your TV needs height adjustments. It can be done only through some code send to the tv via remote. It is known as "service code". It is uneque code, and can be had only with the help of a well experienced technicin. If the problem pereists contact any one of such mentioned above.

That is one big problem with the Vizio, They do not have this option. You may have better luck trying to adjust it through your cable box if you have one. They do offer an option on some of there remotes that says "wide" this will magnify the picture to full screen in most cases, it has been the only solution I have been able to find, besides the setup on the cable box. I hope this helps, Good luck.

You would look for a format button on your remote.
Dish Network: bottom left the asterisk "*" button
DirecTV: top left, second from the top labelled "format"
Cable remote: look for format, zoom, or aspect ratio

Pressing this button should scroll you through the options.

look for screen format in video mode menu or if you have original remote you have that option in your remote

Are you using the original remote control...Reg TV doesn't fit your screen because it's not filmed in HD...But it should be clear but you have to watch it smaller... Usually big screen tv's will have a black trim around the picture...And zoom cuts off some of the picture..Some tv's have wide, cinema and other options...Your TV might just have zoom

This is normal.
