Not all content on HD channels is in HD. Some of this upscaled SD content is shown in 4:3 "pillar box" aspect ratio rather than 16:9 (which fills your screen). There is even some HD content that is 4:3, such as old movies.

Also, your HDTV probably has the ability to stretch the content to fill the screen using the Aspect button. I'm not a fan of stretched video but it's an option.
