That's what I have now and that's fine.....the "once set up" part is where the problem lies.... Originally Posted by Archerhunter I HATE that black bar on top and bottom. Everything is squished. A tall slender chick looks short and fat. A fat girl looks like a beached whale. WTF? I think it's the other way around....when I switched to DTV from Dish last year it included HD but since my old TV doesn't have HD all the people suddenly became tall and skinny....I assumed that the purpose of HD was to make all the fat ass's in Hollywood look skinny....

Phone call after phone call to tech help with ROKU, Netflix, Sling, Hulu, and the TV manufacturer. I am afraid I was so flumuxed that I raised my voice to the pakistani kid with ROKU tech.

All I want is TV. I don't give a rat's patootie about streaming HULUFlix or any of that other crap. I turn on and control my set with the DirecTV remote, but have to turn off the "smart" function with the TV remote every time I turn it on. PITA but since I can't turn the "smart" feature off (or haven't a clue how to if it's possible) I'll just hit that big colorful button every time. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

A tall slender chick looks short and fat. A fat girl looks like a beached whale. WTF? Why is this horseshit the default setting? Is it to make short armed round guys and fat broads (most Americans) feel better about themselves? Seems to me default setting should be NORMAL that uses the entire screen. And all you short squat fat fuggs that want to feel better about yourselves need to get you fat asses off the couch in front of your big flat screen and find something other to do than sit around getting fatter. I think this is backward. Movies are filmed in sizes that don't match your TV, sometimes. If you fill the whole screen, then the picture will be distorted.
