I have two TVs that have a broad range of aspect ratio controls. Unfortunately with some signal sources, including HD PVRs, only a subset of the TV controls are available. The most annoying lack is the absence of the basic "zoom" feature that enlarges, for example, a 16/9 program (with black borders top & bottom and left & right) embedded in a 16/9 broadcast.
While not a perfect solution, I have found that the so-called "hardware zoom" feature of some Pace boxes (certainly the Aspen & the Summit), often helps with this problem.
I know that the Motorola 3416s do not have this feature and sjrb has confirmed that the new Motorola DCX3400 also doesn't have this feature.
So what do you Motorola owners do when your TV Zoom/Aspect-ratio controls are inadequate? In particular, does the Motorola DCX3400 provide any help with this at all?
Or am I missing something else obvious?
