Why do some channels show up with bars on either side when I try to watch on my HDTV set?

Watching standard definition channels on HDTV sets may result in different screen dimensions and you may see bars on both sides of your screen. In addition, some channels may broadcast the picture with the black bars if the program was created prior to HD recording.

Refer to your TV screen for instructions on how to stretch your picture to fill the entire screen. Stretching the picture may cause distortion which is not a result of your Breezeline service.
