What I think is stupid is letterboxing on cable. If the show is in 16x9, broadcast it squeezed or "anamorphic" sure, it won't be HD, but the resolution will be better because part of it won't be wasted on black bars then I won't have to use a "zoom mode". (Just like anamorphic DVDs) All ya'll 4:3 people are Luddites. Get with the program. It would drive sales of new TVs for sure.
