They're supposed to broadcast letterboxed on their SD stream but many stations just center cut.<br /><br />I see them foul up broadcasts all the time on WNET. One reason is bandwidth -they run their SD, HD, Spanish and one or two other streams through a signal which was meant to carry an NTSC signal.<br /><br />It's similar to NTSC carrying both a black and white and color signal in 1953. They're anticipating a technology which doesn't really exist yet so the holes and the pegs don't exactly fit.roconnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933040935053560675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275154027288684412.post-76950377047426098262011-05-10T01:49:16.098-04:002011-05-10T01:49:16.098-04:00As a Channel Thirteen viewer watching on a Standar...As a Channel Thirteen viewer watching on a Standard Def CRT TV, their text is frequently not title safe, as captions on the News Hour and in Promos frequently are completely off my screen and I just catch the beginnings and ends of words... Animation itself looks excellent. I like the camera movements.Slushing Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276501174132911960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275154027288684412.post-67796839392003272042011-05-09T09:35:30.449-04:002011-05-09T09:35:30.449-04:00As long as I've been in the States, I've b...As long as I've been in the States, I've been confounded by the Yankee approach to widescreen entertainment.<br /><br />Back home if you had a square (4:3) TV you got black bars on the top and bottom or you got nothing. <br /><br />Here they seem to try and appease everyone and in the process make things so much more complicated than they need to be.Charles Kennyhttp://animationanomaly.comnoreply@blogger.com
