Re: Who cares anyway? said by Matt:As I discovered, most of the "HD" channels don't broadcast 50% of their content in HD and it's a crap shoot as to whether a channel just stretches the SD picture and calls it HD. Well most content espcially old content is SD. Mos t fo these channels are filming new content in HD. I noticed on my SDTVs I have black bars on the top and bottom on many shows which means they are widescreen. |

Colorado Springs, CO | Actually any "Filmed" content can be rescanned at 1080p. Only downside is that clearing up the dust is expensive. |

not necessarily...some shows may be presented in LetterBox which would give you the bars on top and bottom. Granted, there aren't that many shows presented in LB format.
The only one that comes to mind was HDNet's presentation of Star Trek: Enterprise. I know for a fact they shot that show in HD, but for whatever reason, HDNet decided to show the LB version. So I had bars on the side AND on top and bottom. I don't like stretching SD content. |
