Has anyone else noticed the black bars at the top an bottom of Terrestrial getting bigger. It's fine for my WS, but on the normal TV (2 of), there's 3inch black bars at the top and bottom.
Is this just the North west.. or is anyone else seeing this

tis true. BBC1&2 are now showing all their films in 1:85 aspect ratio. Tho ITV arent cos theyve no clue about how to show or edit films for their commersials. C4 byfar the best

...but seriously, i wonder whether the BBC's insistence on doing a lot of 14:9 broadcasts (and wider) isn't some underhand way of convincing people to upgrade to widescreen digital. Not that the governments target to convert everyone to 1s and 0s in the next few years would have anything to do with it of course
Oh, and another few tens of billions of pounds worth of bandwidth auctions in the coffers n'all!!mb

You terrestial peasants get bars so I can have a FULL screen on my digital .............. Thank you very much Normal service will NOT be resumed for you shortly 
Is there any truth in the fact that the black bars are getting 0.5mm bigger for each day Analogue TV has to go - eventually it will take over completely
