I have had my 1070 for close to one year and have it set up as a 3.1 system. I was using an old analog tv with connections from the DVD directly to the TV, audio going through the 1070. I recently upgraded the TV to an LG42LB5D, playing through a Mototorola DCT6200 STB. As I don't have a DVI cable, the TV is connected via component cable from the STB. The picture on the TV is excellent in HD and good in SD, but the SD picture is in 4:3. When switched to 16:9 the picture gets stretched with too much distortion. When I connect the STB to the 1070 with a DVI and then DVI to HDMI out to the TV, what effect will the 1070 have on the picture? In other words, is there a chance that the processing on the receiver will be able to stretch the picture with better interpretation than the TV apparently has where there will be less distortion. My Sony (no av components attached) seems to do that better, but I am using a cable card on that set and not an STB...don't know if that matters. Also, if I connect the 1070 via DVI, will the signal just pass through to the TV without the receiver being turned on (I realize I won't get any video processing unless it is on). Sorry for this long and probably rambling message, but I am trying to locate where my problem is and how I best go about addressing it.
