Widescreen

Just got a new laptop. When I open up the channels I cant get them to fill the screen, I get a three inch vertical dark stripe on either side. The computer is set for max resolution which is the recommended setting.Any ideas how I can fill the screen? Thanks

it depends on the stream you are viewing, not all streamers stream wide screen. if you are on veetle player at the bottom of the player there is a drop down tag to change aspect ratio eg 4/3 or 16/9

Saw that with Veetle but it was a poor stream. All the other sreams I tried were 4:3 ratio. Didnt seem to b a problem with my old desktop. Thanks anyway.

Sounds like you have to update your video drivers mate even though it's new...

Maybe you didn't have a widescreen laptop before? If your stream is using WMP (like sopcast or TVants etc) you can change the ratio of you video (Tools-Options-Devices-Display - ratio control).
