DirecTV does that with the local stations in my market as well. I have
tried to explain to them what the problem is and they keep trying to tell
me that I need to adjust the settings for DirecTV. I told them that it's
already
set up exactly the way they are describing and then they say that my set
isn't set up to receive widescreen. Since I have one of those decoder
boxes and the over-the-air locals are coming in wide-screen, it's got
to be their retransmission that is the problem. But, of course, nothing
is ever their fault...

I wonder if that re-appearance during the second half counts as:
(1)A network ad
(2)A full-cost Pepsi ad

I was watching the Super Bowl at the home of friends who are still on
SD. The graphics were cut off on the edge of the screen on the
"MacGruber" ad, and suddenly I realized -- ohhh, their cable company
is providing NBC in SD by "center-cutting" the digital signal of the
affiliate. It was more noticeable on "The Office," where a lot of
characters were halfway off the screen while they were talking.
