Thanks for that. I know I'd asked about this before, but I couldn't recall if anyone had answered definitively, one way or the other. With the right medication, I
should remember this time around. Fingers crossed...
Yep, it's now officially a bloody nuisance. And since I already have Freeview built into my TV, along with a separate Freeview box, and not enough money to consider purchasing another Freeview thingamajig (even at £30-£40), it looks like I'm stuck with those black bars in perpetuity...
Nurse, the screens!
