It depends on how Direct TV shows the event. If it is something like sports, which are shown in the 16 x 9 aspect ratio, you will have a full screen without bars. If they are showing movies that are shot at a wider aspect ratio with bars on the top and bottom. Older shows, usually shot on the 4:3 aspect ratio, and appearing mostly on local stations digital sub-chanels have the opposite situation, the black bars are on the side. The C1 has the ability to let you change the setting to suit your taste. First, you click on the "All Settings" in the main menu.Then on the Picture sub-menu you will see the "Aspect Ratio" setting. Click on that and then you will be given a "User Selection" choice; click on that. You will now have 5 choices, 16 x 9, Original, 4:3, Vertical Zoom, and 4-way Zoom. 16 x 9 should fill the screen. Original should maintain the aspect ratio as sent out by the TV station. However, some stations, that are using older tv shows as programs, originally shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio expand it horizontally. This is done to fill the screen to satisfy persons who want their screen filled with no bars. If you don't like what what you see, you can cycle through the $:3, Vertical Zoom or the 4 way zoom. I almost always use the Original setting, since I don't mind bars when they are original. I modify it only when the stations have been playing around with the aspect ration.
