Is this something that can be adjusted on a 4x3 set or is it only on HD? I would love to try this, especially on the season of All in the Family that Shout screwed up. Last night I watched a Smothers Brothers Show episode from Time Life and it looked like it should!

Not saying they don't look okay, just not the way they are supposed to look. Videotape looks like a show is airing live whereas film just looks like film. By the way, another show that was F'ed up was the release of That Show with Joan Rivers. Also, the Danny Kaye Show as well. Sad that on a...
