Why is FOX Channel are screwed up?
 

FOX Channel 14 in cable TV is all screwed up. During the football games this afternoon I could not watch the scores and some other things.

Now diring the NLCS I cannot see the score or the screen when a pitch is doubtfu that they showed on the left side. TBS doesn't have that problem.

It doesn't matter in what TV I watch it 42", 32" or 22" LCD TV. It look like the shot is too strech out for the view on TV.

Damn FOX TV. :mad: :mad:

Anyone else experience this?

NOTE: Is a point and shoot camera.

Not sure what that is about, but FOX is off the air by me because of a disagreement with money.

thats the HD channel go to the non HD channel... mine is the same way...

Read about that last week, sucks for anyone in the area.
I had a problem also with Fox today. My provider (AT&T) switched to none HD signal for all Fox channels for some reason, I actually did not like watching it because of how blurry and laggy the game became.

Im not sure FOX has a non HD channel...:confused:

Is this issue only on Cable TV , FIOS or Satellite too?

What channel is Fox for you?

Thought this was gonna get political.

It's getting retarded. Cablevision or Fox needs to just pony up. Missed the Giants game this afternoon and I hope they settle this crap already.

Channel 14, Cable TV in the East Coast

Well the game is 6-1 Phillies on the 8th inining, SF batting.

Odd. I've got it on here and the box is about 2 inches from the left of the screen where it's supposed to be. Sure it's not the setup on your TV?

All my TVs are like that and that is the ONLY channel that looks that way. I don't have any problem watching the games in TBS, ESPN or any other channel.

Hmmmm??? Weird.
I don't know if this pic is any good because I'm in the dark and using my iPhone.

I have FiOS and my picture is completely normal.

I see you have a Samsung, did you try adjusting your Picture Options in the settings menu?

Do you have a "set by program" or something like it in your aspect ratio settings?

Don't forget some cable boxes also have aspect ratio settings.

That is the way it SHOULD look, but the FOX channel has been having that problem for the longest. And is the ONLY channel doing that! :mad:

Mine is good we have dish but we will switch back if we lose fox and 17 like they are saying which I hope we do I hate dish love directv

If it's only the Fox channel it's an issue with your cable provider.

If you adjust the aspect ratio it will be a smaller picture but it won't solve your issues.

well I'm here on the west coast.... and using Dish Network, I have a HD FOX and non HD... pretty much all my channels are like that because the TV with the box has an HDMI cable, I am using a coaxial cable with a signal from the box.. So i am using the non HD channel and its fine, the HD channel looks like yours

By talking to co-workers that is the problem with FOX here, thier HD channel. Have to switch the TV to non HD channel to be able to watch it like in any other channel.

I had the exact same problem when I switched from cable to satellite tv.

The new cable box defaulted to a "zoom" setting on HD channels to get rid of the black-border areas that are normal on an HD channel. I set it back to normal and it got rid of it.

All you guys complaining about not being able to watch Fox on Cablevision....buy an antenna! :tiphat:

Is not being able to watch it, is the way is seen on the TV screen. The rest I think is problem between the cable company and Warner Brother.

Correction, News Corp owns Fox.

I had the unfortunate oportunity to work for that company and know their tactics first hand.

Buying a digital converter and antenna is a good idea for you Cablevision customers, this might last long.

Looks like Cox Cable (halfway) fixed the problem here in VA, now you can see the correct width on the screen from the camera on the field. However is like you are watching a movie in widescreen without a LCD TV (black top and bottom) :dunno:

At least the game looks better!

Congrats on the win.

Did you try to adjust the picture in the TV's settings menu? Not sure if it would help but it's worth a try.

No I don't really want to mess with it because is only one channel and then I'll fcked up...:icon14:

Man, I came in here expecting something completely different.

DAMN, freaking COX Cable is doing the same $hit during the World Series again!!! Why they don't leave it in widescreen TV like the last couple games. Freaking cable companies! :mad: :mad: :mad:

If it were political, Fox would be cutting off the left side of the screen instead of the right.

It was fixed again last night, widescreen :dunno:

FYI - if you subscribe to MLB's world series internet streaming feed, Cablevision will reimburse you for the cost. :tiphat:
