I can view the screen on the TV, but getting the recordings to fill the screen just isn't happening.

Any help?

Thanks!
THE TV IMAGE DOES NOT FILL THE SCREEEN: if you notice margins around the tv image when watching tv in full-screen mode, it is caused by an aspect-ratio mismatch between the tv signal and the display resolution. For example, if you have a widescreen display resolution of 1280x720 (good for 16:9 aspect ratio) and the standard tv signal it displays is broadcast in a 4:3 aspect ratio, you will notice margins around the tv image. If this only occurs on a few channels, you can zoom to expand the image for those channels. Or if this occurs for all channels, you might change the display resolution used in Media Center from one for widescreen display (16:9) to one for standard display (4:3).
