Are you sure the hockey isnt done in hd? I was at boston pizza and the sens game was on achannel (this was months ago regular season) but did not look stretched. (it was on a wide screen 37" or something. And the picture looked quite sharp. It did make me curious at the time because the picture looked quite good for SD.
That's exactly what A Channel looked like. When I watch a channel in SD on my HDTV, it looks like crap and the 4:3 is inside the 16:9. A Channel/Newsnet looked pretty damn good and filled the 42 inch HDTV in The Hilton Hotel. Is this some special hotel feed? LOL

When you guys watch SD on your HDTV, have you configured your tv's to somehow auto-fill the screen but not by stretching/zoom?

yeah, its possible to just zoom and crop and not stretch at all, but you loose alot of the picture (top and bottom) and that should be noticable. I just thought it was possible that since sportsnet produces a-channel hockey anyways, and since they are doing HD this year, it might be possible for the local bars to buy some sort of special feed of a-channel in HD just for the games.

(btw, if anyone knows dean brown, tell him hes the worst hockey commentator i've ever heard, so biased he even bugs sens fans)
