Just drives me insane. Why do so many of the HD channels continue to put on shows that are 4:3 ... even more maddening is when its letter box as well, you end up with a little tiny viewing area on your big screen TV.
National Geographic and History channels do this alot.
that and the Optik site saying
"True widescreen experience
Watch your favourite shows on a widescreen picture that delivers movies and sports that better fit your TV screen, providing a more intense viewing experience."
Would you think it ok if you went to the movies and they only used the middle 10ft of the 30ft tall screen? it is the same thing to me. I could use my TVs settings to expand the picture, and i have done so(and would like to) but that distorts the guide all to hell.
Is this a Telus(Optik) problem? With Shaw i could use the TVs "Just" mode that expanded the screen (but not zoomed so it goes over the edges) and the guide worked fine. not so with Optik
