Screen is stretched somehow

I just put up my new HDTV, put in the hd cables (blue,green,red or whatever), switched the display cable to HDTV and changed my display settings (on xbox settings) to 1080i (i live in europe)

 

the problem is, when I put in Saints Row to test the fantastic HD tv, my character appears to be taller and skinnier than before. The entire TV screen is filled so it has nothing to to with my TV screen settings (you know, wide, zoom, 16:9 etc.)

 

I dont want GTA 4 to have wrong settings, so everything is stretched. Is there something I can do to fix this problem?

It might be on your HDTV's part. Check your remote control and see if there is a button to change the Widescreen settings.

 

On mine I have it, and if I press it, the stuff on TV is either 16:9 (full widescreen), 4:3 (boxy or square) and some in-between settings that will make the characters look skinny or distorted like a funhouse mirror. So check your HDTV remote control.

 

Xbox 360 menu blades does have a Widescreen/Normal setting too I think, but I assume you already did that part.

Have you checked all the settings on the 360 dashboard and the in-game settings?
