Re: Worst part about this is...

30-50% of the content on the 'secondary' HD channels are still HD. Would rather have that much more than no new HD channels. And the infrastructure is now in place for more HD content. It will take many many years for 100% of content to be HD. And old content never will be unless fully remastered. Bitchin about this is kind of a half-glass empty view.

But it does suck when they stretch/zoom 4:3 content. Very annoying. They should let the viewer decide as most HDTVs/cable boxes allow to do it manually.

This is NOT HD!

Sure but case in point. I remember when the Mars rovers were first landed and the videos were being shown on INHD. They were incredible looking. Now the HD Science Channel is showing that same video, BUT they are showing the cropped 4:3 SD version stretched to fit widescreen format.

ABC Family-HD was showing Harry Potter movies all weekend. But they were the cropped 4:3 formatted version. I find it hard to believe they did not have the wide screen edition.

At least they did not stretch it.
