Do you mean when you're watching a non-widescreen show on a widescreen TV?

If so, isn't that a function of the TV itself? I use the Aspect control on my Panasonic to adjust the ratio for non HD broadcasts (it's not adjustable for non-widescreen HD broadcasts, to maintain the picture quality without stretching).

I don't know if this will help, but you can also customize the settings on the hd-pvr by turning it off and pushing the "Settings" button. A menu should come up which will allow you to change video output to 720p from 1080i (if you wanted to, it made a difference on my set) and 4:3 output ratios as well. Enjoy the new toy! I just bought mine a couple weeks ago myself.
