That could simply be a problem with the TV settings. Have you verfied this problem with more than one set?
A 4:3 Letterboxed output should be able to display fine on regular Tvs or widescreen models without much trouble. Lots of people set thier Tvs wrong and leave them on 16:9 or zoom mode all the time.

Basically 16:9 Tvs simply zoom into the image a bit and chop off the letterboxing giving you a full 16:9 frame. 4:3 TVs display the entire frame including the letterbox.
what kind of timeline are you using? If you have 16:9 anamorphic checeked in the properties it should automatically unsqueeze the image and produce a letterboxed 4:3 image.
In any case I would strongly suggest contacting someone in the techncial deptartment of the station and find out what kind of output they prefer. Also be sure to always properly label your tapes before you submit them. if the techs don’t know what your tape is they won’t know how to boradcast it correctly.

also I’d make sure in your render settings everything is checked including “full”

Sometimes camera issues are hard to detect. Some cameras simply don’t like tapes from other cameras for some reason. Probably a difference in heads or something similar. If possible I’d try to load the tape from a professional deck or the original shooting camera.

If they are dv stream files I’ve had lots of trouble with them. they seem to have duplicate frame in FCP making the video look choppy.

MPEG Streamclip does the trick.
You can set in/out points and export to Quicktime using the DV-NTSC codec. For a free program it’s converter does very good job.
-
if all else fails you can capture to your internal HD then transfer to the external drive later.

that did the trick. thanks!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the 24p native mode shot true 23.98 without pulldown

Compressor’s 2 pass renderings all seem to be painfully slow…..
