Cheap ploy to get people to buy HD sets? :-P When Service Electric first added WCAU Nonstop, they frakked around with the aspect ratio, ultimately settling on a longitudinally-squashed view reminiscent of the beginnings/endings of pan-and-scan widescreen flicks back in the "golden age"... Nobody shows a channel in widescreen unless the channel (A) specifically orders them to, and (B) ostensibly pays for the necessary equipment to generate the letterbox effect in SD when needed (only way you explain that they [finally] did it with Fox 5 NY and still won't do it with the ultracheap local PBS...) -- BOB -- -- TV or Not TV ....
