So I recorded Project Runway premier in Lifetime HD. I was shocked to see that the series is not filmed in wide screen. Instead Lifetime is taking a square picture and stretching it to fit a wide screen. A fashion show where clothes are designed to fit in a specific way is the absolute worst program to stretch.
Because Lifetime is stretching the picture, I can't use the format button to fix it back to a square picture. Is there any other way to fix a stretched picture? If not, the only option is to record it on the SD Lifetime.
Disappointing. Lifetime I'm sure paid a lot for this show. I don't know why they would blow the premier by stretching it.

That's why I figure the stretch channels do what they do... If I come across a linear stretched channel, I'll hit the "4X3" on my TV, that way it'll square back up. But like mentioned earlier, HGTV & Food use the "stretch - 0 - vision" technique, so the center of the screen is normal & the stretch grows the further out the picture goes... in other words, on a close up a person would have a normal sized head, but Frankenstien shoulders..... eeeeewwww. Of course, squareing up the picture doesn't help that
