Is it true that the Portugese are still filming in the old style format so therefore you will have the black bars down each side of the screen??
I heard this on the radio the other day.

Just stretch that picture..

Its very interesting that we can't now do without it. Anyone out there who hasn't got a widescreen tv think twice about getting one, because you can't go back.

It is to do with the fact that your eye sight is more 16:9 (widescreen) than the old more square (4:3) format.

My television is always stretched out even with old style recording. I find it hard to watch a 4:3 picture now - I have to stretch it out.

The thing is that the picture then becomes distorted and unreal. Beckham will look like Vanessa Feltz!

Me and brother work in the television industry in a technical capacity. He could bore you to pieces about broadcast aspect ratios.
