I had no idea!!! It is ridiculous that that these stations are stretching pan and scanned 2.35 films to fit 16X9. No wonder RIO BRAVO which was originally 1.85 looked so terrible on AMC HD yesterday. (No I usually don't watch AMC because of the commercials but was curious as to whether the films were being shown in Stunning HD) Now I know the answer
This gives HD a BAD name....It truly looks worse than any SD channel.
