    Set 16:9 to be Letterbox and 4:3 to be Pillarbox. I always set mode to 1080i and refresh mode to Multi.

    Sorry I missed what has been covered in the list few pages. I know this is stating the obvious, but have you played with the picture size (p.size) button on the remote towards the bottom of the remote (on mine).

    This might work to factory reset the tv .....

    Code:
    1. With the TV on, press and hold EXIT on the TV remote for 10 seconds.
    
     2. The Factory Reset screen appears displaying a warning message. 
    Understand that all your settings revert to factory settings if you run the Factory Reset function.
    
     Note: When the Factory Reset screen appears, Cancel is initially highlighted. 
    If you want to cancel the Factory Reset function, press ENTER now. Otherwise, go to Step 3.
    
     3. Press the ◀ to highlight OK, and then press ENTER.
    
     After the TV completes the Factory Reset, it powers itself off. 
    When you power the TV on for the first time after the Factory Reset, the Plug & Play screen appears just as if you had turned the TV on for the first time.

    Which restores everything except network settings.
    Factory setting is hidden on my Samsung tv to excess it with tv off, press info,menu,mute, then power.

    If you dont mind me asking why have both set to letterbox and pillarbox and not just scale for both? I am not sure of the differences.

    I dont want a box screen picture on some channels where it doesnt stretch/cover the whole screen which has happened before.

    Yes I have tried this method today but unfortunealy nothing happens.

    I dont understand how they can't be a factory reset option. Its not a 10 year old TV.

    I am stressed all the time, but this TV/Box problems has taken its toll on me.

    I cant turn overscan off at all. I cant even factory reset my TV. What an utterly crap TV I have.

    "Screen fit" is the correct scaling option on your tv as Samsung advised you. You probably have some settings messed up on the stb as well. On the satellite receiver go to Menu->Setup->System->User Interface->Position Setup and report back with the values there. They should be left as default.

    most of the time you get a full picture but on movies you get the letterbox display with some films,stretching them does not look good.older programs still get pillarbox =star trek

    I did try to change screen position setup settings as was advised to do so as couldn't get overscan off. This done nothing. Maybe I am doing it wrong I don't know.

    I did set it to drag it after by pressing yellow.

    I'm still confused by this what exactly is the letterbox and pillarbox display?

    So just scale just stretches the picture to cover the whole screen?

    I don't like viewing content where the picture is like a box and picture doesn't cover the screen.

    Can you set the screen position settings to default and leave them there. If you set the screen setting on the tv to "screen fit" then overscan is off. What is your actual problem then??? Worrying about 4:3 and 16:9 is only confusing things - if you want to fill the stretch a 4:3 picture to fill the screen then use "just scale". This is absolutely nothing to do with overscan and should be ignored for the moment until you sort the original problem. Also make sure auto resolution is turned off (in the receiver a/v setup). Try uploading a picture of the problem as very little of what you are telling us is making sense.

    Ye, but on some channels the picture is in a box with black border/bars around.

    Picture doesnt cover the whole screen.

    Dont like it like that tbh.

    I dont understand what is confusing about my problems.

    I have had numerous problems which I have explained to the best of my ability what else do you want from me?

    If you read what I wrote originally. Yes I can change to screen fit but overscan is only TEMPORARILY off. As if I reboot box or turn TV of it goes back to 16:9 in the screen settings thus making overscan come back on again.

    the whole just scale, pillarbox, letterbox settings in regards to 4:3 and 16:9 is seperate issue and I know it hasnt got anything to do with overscan.

    Problem is I CANT turn overscan off permanently. I CANT factory reset my TV.

    I dont understand what I have said that doesnt make sense.

    Please do not stress me out more. I have already had enough of that.
