Screen Size I can't get the picture to match the size of the screen. The options that are available either provide too wide a picture or one that is not wide enough. Our picture source is AT&T U-verse.

To change the picture size on Fire TV, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Settings menu on your Fire TV.
2. Select "Display & Sounds" or "Display & Sound" (depending on your Fire TV version).
3. Scroll down to the "Display" section and select "Calibrate Display".
4. Choose the option that matches the aspect ratio of your TV (e.g. 16:9 for most modern widescreen TVs).
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to adjust the picture size and position until it fits your screen properly.
6. Once you're satisfied with the changes, select "Save" to apply the new settings.

Alternatively, you can also adjust the picture size and zoom level directly from the video playback screen. While watching a video, press the "Options" button on your Fire TV remote and select "Picture Size" or "Zoom" to adjust the settings.
Note that the exact steps and menu options may vary depending on your Fire TV version and software version.

There is a key on the TV remote control for adjusting the size of the picture. On pressing this key you will get the options of the picture size like 4:3, 16:9, Zoom, Wide etc. You can choose the size you like.

Hello

It is likely that you have the "picture size" set to a mode that does not match what the channel is actually providing.

Go to the Menu options on your TV and then look for the Picture options. Change the size between the different options (typically 16:9, 4:3, Wide, Fit to Screen, etc.) and see which mode works best for the Fox and CBS broadcasts.

It is likely you have the TV set to Wide or Fit to Screen. Both change the settings to make 4:3 broadcasts fill the screen of a wide screen TV. Changing this to 16:9 should allow you to see the information on the sides and bottom of the screen again.

I found the user manual online, and the pictures in it are really helpful and make this make a lot more sense, but:
1. Press [SCREEN MODE], to switch the TV aspect ratio.
2. Press [SCREEN MODE] repeatedly until the normal screen displays.
NOTE: • Some programs may not offer all display mode options.
4:3 Programming
[Sidebar] Sidebar displays a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size. Sidebars will be displayed on the right and left edges of the screen.
[Full] Full displays a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen.
[Cinema] Cinema displays a 4:3 picture at a 16:9 size, with less horizontal elongation necessary to fill the screen because a little bit of the top and bottom edge of the screen will be cut off.
[Wide] Wide displays the center of the picture as original size and the outer sides of the picture will be elongated. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
16:9 Programming
[Full] A picture is displayed at 16:9 size as it is.
[Zoom] Zoom displays a 16:9 picture without changing its horizontal and vertical ratio, at its maximum size.
[Cinema] Cinema displays a 16:9 picture with vertical elongation.
[Expand] Expand displays a 16:9 picture with horizontal elongation

Keep us posted.

With an HDMI cable connected, the cable box determines the picture size. The settings on the cable box must be changed in order for you to get the correct picture size. I have some experience with Motorola cable boxes; usually to access the settings you turn the box OFF and then press the menu or settings button on the box to bring up the display menu. Hope this helps!

Depending on the application you are viewing the picture in you can shrink the application window. You could reduce the size of the viewable area but that defeats the purpose of the wide screen which is to provide a better viewing experience (to quote the marketing types). It sounds like....since the wider screen really has nothing to do with your picture size....you might want to adjust your picture size independent of screens and applications. There are a variety of free products out there that can do this...and some are really nifty...perhaps better than the software you might now be using.
