that has bothered me often and for a long time.
Imagine you walk into a sports bar to watch a game. This place makes a living off of showing sports and selling you food and drinks. And then you notice that the aspect ratio of the picture is messed up and that you see black bars on the top and the bottom of a wide screen TV...
It is really simple:
If you receive your TV signal via some digital medium and you own a wide screen TV, then please tell your digital TV receiver that you have a 16:9 TV and not a 4:3 TV. It's not rocket science!
OK, that really needed to be said.
