That's what's so weird about Cozi. They are on second-tier subchannels and are showing nearly exclusively 4:3 old shows. Why would they letter-box and windowbox it even further?

S4 is now playing and it's back to 4x3 with bars on the side. I miss the 16x9 versions!Mark-P said:Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel is now showing Hart to Hart in HD widescreen. It's interesting to see how they have captured more side information from the original filmed elements to present in the widescreen conversions. The pictures below are screencaps from the DVD versus camera snapshots off my TV screen (I wasn't able to make direct screencaps from the HD version)

Would be a compromise for those that get the heebie jeebies when they see black pillarboxing by minimizing their size, while not being as distasteful to most of us that prefer to respect the original presentation since portions of the picture that were meant to be seen aren't being lopped off.
