PDA : New HDPVR - Is the guide available in W/S ? ehlive 2007-01-06, 05:55 PM Just curious, is the guide for the pvr available in widescreen? What about the screen saver? Thanks Quantum Tarantino 2007-01-06, 09:44 PM No, and No. Both are 4:3 ehlive 2007-01-06, 10:30 PM wow. thats pathetic. good thing i just blew hundreds of dollars on this joke of a pvr... any idea if they have a new unit planned any time soon? 57 2007-01-07, 12:41 AM I assume that if you're on an SD channel, with the 4:3 override set to 480i/p, and you stretch the image on the TV, the IPG will also be stretched? That's how it works with Rogers...I get stretched IPG on SD channels and 4:3 on HD. Perhaps some newer firmware by SA and Motorola will address this issue.

The problem isn't the PVR hardware. It's the way the software was written. Eventually, I'm sure, you will see a widescreen-friendly version of Passport and/or iGuide.
