Ah, now that does seem unusual to me, but recently I haven't been 
watching a huge amount of off air TV.

Perhaps you should double check you don't have a setting like 
Letterbox/PanScan/Scale/Auto somewhere in you TV or set top box that has 
been set wrongly. My satellite box has this, and weirdly PanScan is the 
correct setting, not Auto! I think I've seen similar settings on TVs too.
