Displaying 1080i on 4:3 standard TV



I’m new to the list and relatively new to mythtv.  I just installed a new HD-5000 last week and I’m having some difficulties with the display.

 

First a question.  Is it even possible to display all of a 1080i broadcast on a standard 4:3 TV?

 

When I try to do this I get a display that looks like the picture has been shifted to the right.  There is a wide black bar on the right, with the expected black bars on top and bottom.  If I use the aspect override settings, the best I can do is a larger picture that is butted against the left side and has a portion of the right side cut off.

 

I’d like to hear from anyone who has ever seen this work, just so I know it can be done.  If you have pointers on how it might be done, that would be great too.

 

      Thanks
