Re: Wrong video ratio.

One more observation is that the EPG can be shown in either SD or HD. The SD version is so small it's very difficult to read. I have seen the EPG display in SD and when I press a button, I get the notified of a problem followed immediately by the Spikey wheel for a few seconds. Once it has refreshed...

Re: Wrong video ratio.

The TV is TCL model 70P10 US. Dispite the fact that this set is almost 7 years old people have remarked how clear the picture was. It's 4K. It has 4 HDMI in connections. I have both an Amazon Firestick 4K pro in one port and a Samsung DVD player and these have never switched to 4X3. Overscan is off....

Re: Questions about the EPG favourites correct but?

The EPG is divided into 2 large areas.

The Left hand side is only for channel names and numbers I'm finding that my left hand side is only about 40% or less filled with my channel choice of favourites. If this could be made larger the right hand side would not look so crowded.

Re: I stiffed up & am now trying to repair problem I created.

It appears that I said that everything was fine again but this isn't so. It seems that most of the other settings have gone walkabout. OpenWebIf or the V2 itself has lost all of my preferences including layout, EPG choices and boutiques etc. So I will have to start all over again.
