ok, I dont think this one's been done...

It really irritates me that if you watch a normal def program on a HD channel, it isnt in widescreen!!

AIBU?

YABU because I only have a 16 yr old square telly with a tube in it and a crappy portable so I dont get widescreen OR HD. and

Ironically there's an identical thread to this already here. Nice double post :o

Ah well, my benefit fraud means i can afford a 50" TV and sky package...

I can't afford those yet, but I will be able to after I've sued the Daily Mail for selling me a pup. Anyone know any good lawyers?

Yanbu, i hate that, whats the point it ruins it.
I like to see all of my sixty inch

Yes! If it's not in HD then just watch it on the normal channel.

Is the OP what's called a troll BTW?

Size isnt everything you know, girth counts too...

I bet my 26 inch square tube beats your 50/60 inch skinny thing...

Why should I have to change channels? What's the point in them doing it???

I'd like to think that I'm not a troll, no.

PS, yes I am bored, but this does genuinely irritate me

for a start it is programme(everybody today seems to be correcting bad spelling)
What is the problem? does the person doing sign language not appear unless it is wide screen

Actually...

The word ?program? was predominant in the UK until the 19th century, when the spelling ?programme? became more common ? largely as a result of influence from French, which has the same word ?programme?.
