I just picked up a SA 4250HD cable box. I connected it to my Denon via hdmi. I am with Videotron in Montreal if that makes any difference.
Previously, I had a SD cable box connected via s-video and set the Denon to output all video to the tv as 16:9. Now, with the new HD box, and having not changed that setting; the SD channels (broadcast in 4:3) are being output as 4:3. Very not cool!
Is this a limitation of the Denon and the hdmi connection? Would I get the widescreen stretch back if I connect the HD cable box via component? If so, what would happen to the HD channels broadcast as 16:9?
Thanks!
