[QUOTE="Yorks, post: 196280, member: 191461"] Yep it's just as frustrating watching on the telly. If I remember right (had a sleep since then), the match on ITV1 on my 32 wide screen was in 4:3. Black bands either side. As you probably know you can 'zoom' or magnify picture to fill the 16:9 frame but then you lose top and bottom of picture and can't see score displayed. You can move the zoomed picture down to display score but then lose a big chunk from the bottom of the screen. There is also a 'smart' function on most wide screens which stretches the sides of the 4:3 image to fill the screen but in my opinion it's like watching tv through a gold fish bowl! It's quite interesting to note that M*ltivision and T*quilla braodcast the 16:9 image inside the 4:3 as you mention. If you zoom in on the tv it fits the screen perfectly. But the image degrades a little due to the magnification!'O'-red While our friends at Digit*rk broadcast some films on Salon channels in full blown widescreen with no need to zoom in.:-DOH2 Yorks [/QUOTE]
