The Converter allows one to change the aspect from ratio Anamorphic, to 16:9, to 14:9 to Zoom EXCEPT if the station is not broadcasting in HDTV (but is Digital). If the broadcast is not HDTV the only option is Anamorphic - which stretches the picture vertically on our two TV sets. I have no idea if this problem is unique to DigitalStream or not.
