    So far Netflix and Youtube are out of proportion its kind of annoying like when you hook your lap top up to a tv kind of annoying.

    On the Box have you gone to Settings>>General>>Display and select "Screen format and overscan" and made sure everything looks right?

    If you select "Advanced" you will see a screen where you line up the "corner graphics" to your screen corners and make sure the "circle graphic" is a perfect circle...

    Well, it could be that the YouTube and Netflix apps won't work on a 4:3 display...
