Hi,
Forgive me if this is asinine but...
Am I correct in assuming the picture being broadcast is still "full screen". ie-the black bars are being sent as part of the picture?
I have a DTV set that does 480p. I'm wondering if I would gain anything buy getting a STB to pick up OTA DTV signals and watch the shows via the TV's 480p component inputs. The TV lets me select the aspect ratio for that video input.
However, I'm thinking I'd still have to select the 4:3 aspect ratio if I did all that. If I selected the 16:9 aspect ration, I'd have two sets of black bars, right? First one caused by my set squeezing the image, and the 2nd set being part of the picture being broadcast?
Forgive me if this isn't the right forum for this...
(please move it to the appropriate one if needed)
