Is there anyway to adjust the aspect ratio on this box. Also can Harmony remote be used with this box?

Zoom button only zooms the picture, it does not let you select the aspect ratios such as 16x9 or 4X3. Anybody find a way to adjust the aspect ration on this box. Some of the PPV movie channels on this box does not look right. When I watch the same PPV channel on my Dreamlink T2 it shows up in letter box version, which is correct. But on the Global Media the same channel shows as full screen and seems stretched. Is there no way to adjust the aspect ratio on the Global Media Box?

Tried it on tv itself and it still does not work. Their software layout looks similar to STB Emu. On the STB Emu you are able to change the aspect ration in the setting. But no such setting on the Global Media. Too bad you can't adjust the aspect ratio, some of the movies on PPV looks like picture has been stretched on the full screen mode. This box has nice picture quality, but too bad there is no aspect ratio setting.

You should post what app/program you are using!!
The box settings are for the Display Resolution only (1080p/60hz, 720p etc)
Aspect ratio of videos is always adjustable in the video player settings.
If you cannot adjust, then you are using a poor application.

If it is similar to stb emu, you should be able to either select the aspect, or use an external player instead of the default player.

I recommend MX Player

The box comes with its own proprietary software, which looks similar to STB Emu, but there is no setting for aspect ratio. I tried using STB Emu on it but was not that stable on it.

Tried pushing the button underneath the 7 on the remote, but that does not do anything.
