yep. this was fox news's call. not dish's. they did it so that sd customers can see everything that the hd custs can. for instance, during the elections they had information on the sides of the screen that you could only see on their hd feed, but not on the sd feed.
my SD is not 16x9 but HD isVIP 722
In SD it is just 16x9 letterbox format not true 16x9.
OK thanks I found the stretch mode on my remote :up never watch SD just wanted to see what it is like
Here's their page explaining it:
FOX News Channel: TV Fix It Guide
I actually like this and I think it's a good move. It allows them to focus more on putting useful content in their broadcast and not have to worry about having separate SD and HD versions or they won't have to nix doing something interesting because it wouldn't work in the SD version.
It's kind of the opposite of other stations that give us Stretch-O-Vision HD bullcrap.

I wonder if they will do the same with the Fox Business channel.
There is a lot of information on their "HD Wing" that's not on their SD broadcast.

The point of this thread is to discuss the format of the new programming not the content of the channel. I think it's an interesting discussion to talk about what it means to have HD and SD channels and how to format the two. If you don't care to participate then go away.
