I am using my WDTV Live SMP with a old school tube TV (Philips make) connected using Composite cable I believe the aspect ratio of the TV screen is 4:3 Most videos on WDTV seem to play fine …and show up in the correct aspect ratio However, the WD TV Homepage, Menus, folders, list/thumbnail views,…

The WD interface is designed for wide screen TV’s. see WD answer here. http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3804

Aspect Ratio off on WDTV Homepage and Videos
