I bought this because my parent have a similar older model but the problem is when the TV is in automatic mode borders keep coming and going at the top and bottom and this is very distracting, especially during films.
On the old model you switched to Just mode and the picture would fill the screen, but they've now taken that mode away and all the other modes have borders top and bottom and distortions.
The problem is when watching DVDs and analogue TV because it doesn't happen with freeview, is there anything I can do?

Modern widescreen content on freeview is usually in 16:9 wide, so it fits the widescreen tv's. But even on there, you can get some older content (uktv history) which is 4:3 or 14:9.
I am guessing you know about the aspect menu options on your dvd player. Without a disc in it, select the 16:9 menu. This tells the player what type of tv you have connected. Obviously, if you play a non-16:9 disc, it will override the setting just for that disc.

But I haven't played about with a recent model and could be just wrong now!
However, many DVD's should indeed still display black bars top and bottom when viewed in the Wide mode - as David says above....
