There are far fewer channels available in most areas of Europe. I assume Australia/New Zealand is the same.They all should NOW! Europe started conversion in the 90s and Australia and New Zealand fully converted in 2001.
I'm not talking about HD, I'm talking about 16:9 SD. There's no excuse for all channels HD and SD to not be 16:9, except when showing older programmes in their original aspect ratio.There are far fewer channels available in most areas of Europe. I assume Australia/New Zealand is the same.
It has nothing to do with the aspect ratio and everything to do with the fact that there isn't much else available by now... Just consider how many people are stretching a 4:3 SD image to fit their 16:9 HDTV...Instead of it being about the desire to have better picture quality, is it just really about the wide screen? Is the aspect ratio of an HDTV its big selling point not the PQ?
Oh yes, the beloved "stretch-o-vision"Just consider how many people are stretching a 4:3 SD image to fit their 16:9 HDTV...![]()
I don't know where you are, but in Mississauga, on Rogers, there are plenty of HD channels. In fact there's only one channel, out of all that I watch regularly that's still SD only. Even TVO is HD on Rogers. Of course, there's still room for improvement. Outside of CP24, which I watch for local news, I don't watch anything that's not on a HD channel.It has nothing to do with the aspect ratio and everything to do with the fact that there isn't much else available by now...
