Stupid TNT HD, why can’t they get it right.
Posted By Corey on December 15th, 2007
This is a lame rant, but I’m sure at least one person will understand. What the hell is the point of broadcasting in HD when you can’t even get the bloody aspect ratio right!? This is what I’d love to ask the ladies and gents at TNT HD. Right now, Gladiator is on 1080i, but it’s a 4:3 image stretched to 16:9. It’s random too, sometimes they get it right, other times, like with all the X-Files reruns they don’t. Gah… Bloody annoying.
UPDATE: So Thirteen Days just came on, and would you look at this a decent 1080i 16:9 image.
Really don’t get it, do they just not bother getting the right content? Is it a rights issue or what?

Can you believe that? When I first signed up for HD, I thought, oh, maybe this ONE movie is SD and they had to do the anamorphic stretch. But they apparently have no idea what they are doing. I use is as a test for my visitors to see who actually knows what 16:9 HD should look like.
