For a long time I’ve used a “Scart-to-VGA-converter” to link my Foxsat HDR (with CF) to a Panasonic TH-42PWD4 plasma TV and everything works fine. The TV is old but I really like the picture and don’t want to upgrade.
I’m now trying to link them up using an “HDMI-to-VGA-converter” that I can also use to play other HDMI devices on the TV. I tested it with an Android tablet and the picture’s good.
But when I hook up the Foxsat via HDMI the picture is approx 4:3 and positioned over on the left-hand side. Changing the TV aspect control (4:3/Zoom/16:9) doesn’t use any more of the screen. I can use the TV’s picture position & size settings to stretch the picture but the maximum width still isn’t wide enough so it's a poor workaround
I’ve tried every permutation of Humax setting I can think of: at 720P resolution (via the V-Format button) I set the screen ratio to 16:9 and tried all the available display formats. I then changed the screen ratio to 4:3 and tried all the available display formats. And I repeated all this with the other (“Original”) resolution
I've thought of sticking with my existing setup for the Foxsat and getting an "HDMI-to-Component-converter" for other devices. But I think I should be able to get this to work somehow. Any ideas?
