I have HD TV ?
Answer:
HI DEF IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH WIDESCREEN. NOT ALL HDTV IS FILMED IN WIDESCREEN. YOU'LL PROBABLY FIND THAT YOUR CABLE COMPANY HAS GROUPED ALL HIDEF CHANNELS TOGETHER. I HAVE TIME WARNER AND ANYTHING IN THE 700 CHANNEL RANGE IS HI DEF, ALL OTHER CHANNELS ARE STANDARD DEF (THERE'S VERY LITTLE ACTUAL HDTV BEING BROADCAST). YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER NOT EVERY ONE HAS A WIDESCREEN TV, SO BROADCASTERS HAVE TO WEIGH THE BENEFIT OF CREATING BOTH 4:3 AND 16:9 AND COMMERCIALS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS 4:3 ASPECT RATIO. THOSE OF US WHO INVESTED IN HDTV ARE PAVING THE WAY AND PAYING THE PRICE FOR THE DAY WHEN EVERYTHING IS BROADCAST IN HDTV...AND THAT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME! THE GOVERNMENT HAS MANDATED THAT ALL TV CHANNELS BE DIGITAL, NOT HDTV BY 2009...THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE!
A SOLUTION WHEN WATCHING A CHANNEL BROADCAST IN 4:3 (ALMOST ALL) IS TO USE ONE OF THE ZOOM SETTINGS ON YOUR TV.
i had the same proplem and you have to switch the screen size everytime you switch from santdred tv to hd tv
yes the ad was filmed in a different format
yes, when you are viewing a NON-HiDef commercial or program on an HD ch. that will always happen. As far as I know there is nothing you can do about it
