Picture not stretched correct on certain channels

Vu+ Newbie
I have a few channels that doesnt display correctly, instead i get a black border BOTH in top and sides, meaning the picture could be utilized better.
Setup: Vu Solo(1), 2.1.0 (problem persist accros various versions).Tried 3 hdmi cables.
HDMI connected to samsung full hd screen. Auto resolution enabled,also tried disable, same thing. Works correctly on all other channels, including ohter 4:3 channels.

One of the bad channels is Discovery Science on Thor5, 10778H ,SN24500 ,7/8

If i take a screenshot thru open webif, the picture is stretched towards sides way different from what i see on TV, so i had to take a picture of tv and attached. It should be good enough to see that picture doesnt fit either sides.
According to channel info inside BH, the ratio is 4:3, 720x567
I would expect the picture to atleast fit top/bottom,and leave borders at sides.

If i go into tinkering with AV stretch setting, i can make it taller or wider, but no options gives correct picture, and wrong settings ruins picture on all other channels.

Anyone else experience the same or have tips how to fix it ?

Try Aspect ratio plug-in.
And check the picture AV setting of the TV not the STB.
 
I can only find "aspectratioswitch", it does the same as AV settings does, just in a smarter way, but no setting is optimal there either.IS it that plugin you refer to , or can you provide link to the other ?
The TV is set to default 1920x1080 in 16:9 format, which seems right.
When i watch a channel with the problem, if i click on "OK" to bring up the infobar, it is covering the entire screen as you would expect it to, also "auto resoulution" in info mode, which shows info in top corner utilizes screen properly, so the screen is actually running in right resolution, but somehow the videodecoder gives the black bars.
