    Lads can anyone help me? A kid got hold of my remote(s) and pressed buttons on it making the picture too big for the screen. Its very noticeable on Sky Sports News where I can't see any of the writing on the sides and bottom and the tops of blokes heads are missing. I've fiddled around with the TV remote and the one off the box but to no avail. Its starting to drive me fu*king mental.

    Any suggestions fellas?

    Look for "Aspect" or "Zoom" button on remote, and change settings. Once you find Zoom, keep pressing til you get to normal.

    There's also an option in the Sky settings menu, but am now on Virgin so can't remember where it is, but it's similar to above.

    Good luck, my lad done this to me and it drove me nuts too!

    If it's an older TV you have several aspects on the picture such as 'wide', '16:9', '4:3' etc., find that on the picture menu and try each one till it's correct...

    Swords - Was it your kid or visiting relatives?

    You could always go hang out with Flyer and talk it over?

    Swords, you could perhaps try this approach?

    Smash the screen a few times with a hammer. Then it won't matter what setting it's on!!

    Download the instruction manual from the internet. You'll probably find one on the manufacturers website. Normally, this setting is under aspect ratio or picture. If you tell me the TV make and model number I can probably sort it for you if you can't do it.
