Dear All,
Thanks to the EU, NDS will be authorising the manufacture of a Videoguard CAM in Q4 2002, at market price for those with DVB boxes that have CAM slots; subscribing to SKY.
It was a dream I had last night.
However, what is still praying on my mind is:
I want to know why all widescreen broadcasts are now 16:9 ?
There was a day when people complained that films shown on their TV filled their TV screen (i.e., missing loads of actual filmed width).
Since, the UK has been brainwashed into believing w/s is FAB - and I have had to put up with with UK DVD's (exclusively w/s letterbox) and SKY movie content that is shown 16:9 and NOT native format - I want to know why !!!
What, exactly, is wrong with showing a cinemascope format film (within the 16:9 format) even if you have a w/s TV ? Ever seen TCM ?
Okay, you have just spent GBP LOADS on a w/s TV. What, exactly, is wrong with native format ? Does it have to be 16:9 only to justify the expense of your new TV ?
Its like history repeating repeating itself.
Have Fun,
Mark.
