All my 16:9 content from DVB-T channels show up as 4:3 on my TV when watched through the SlingCatcher

If you have your SlingCatcher connected to your Slingbox PRO in Europe and are slinging your Freeview content to your TV, there are some cases where the aspect ratio will get messed up. Specifically, content that is being broadcast in a 16:9 (widescreen) format will get squished down into a 4:3 format.

If this is happening to you, there is an easy work around. Press the MODE button on the SlingCatcher remote. And keep hitting it until the picture looks like it should on your TV.
