The rangers play the yankees in HD on 366 in their series next week. I believe the HD game is May 2.

It depends on the aspect ratio of the movie and the setting the TV is on. A lot of newer movies are in anamorphic widescreen ( I don't recall the exact aspect but its greater than 2:1) which will appear on a widescreen television with black bars on the top and bottom. The johnny cash movie is...
