[mythtv-users] Is cable going widescreen?

Why would OTA with a converter box switch to widescreen only?


 

Maybe not widescreen "only" (you could tell your converbox to stretch the
picture to fill, or zoom perhaps, etc), but the signal will be a 16:9
signal. For cable, digital does not mean 16:9, as digital cable channels are
mostly 4:3, but HD does mean 16:9...i've yet to see an hd channel broadcast
in 4:3.

Since the locals will all be going HD, will they still be sending out that
4:3 signal for the cable providers?...that's my question.
