PLEASE stop the Stretch-O-Vision of SD content on your HD channel.
It is not at all enjoyable to see everything squished and fat on your channel. I find myself thinking, this might be a nice home they're showing if everything wasn't so squished and blurry at the edges.
The correct aspect ratio for 4x3 content is 4x3, not stretched 16x9. Pillarboxed is OK when it's 4x3 content. People who want to stretch it can use the stretch function on their TVs. When you stretch the signal at the source, there's nothing I can do to make it watchable.
I am "this" close to doing a full feature of your channel on my website
s t r e t c h-O-v i s i o n > Home where I highlight those who are worst offenders at making TV unwatchable but wanted to give you the chance to correct the issue first.
