DirecTv
still can't get aspect ratios correct on all of their channels, even when you have it set to match your TV in the menus.
We still use old 4:3 CRT TVs. Most channels appear correctly with the bars at the top and bottom of the screen. It is annoying when an old 4:3 show ends up in a box, but oh well.
But, a few stations like TNT are squashed to fit the screen, making everyone look too tall and thin. And, a few like CBS are the correct ratio, but are cropped to fit the screen.
What the hell!?! How many
years has TV been the new ratio now and they still can't get it right? I guess most people just don't know it's wrong or don't care.
