I understand and like letterbox on programs and movies that were meant to have it, but what ticks me off is when a 4X3 program is pillar boxed at the network (I know this because the pillar box is filled with the network art) then sent to the cable co as 16X9 by the network, and then that image gets pillar boxed to give me a 4X3 content with a big rectangle around it effectively decreasing my screen size.
I can't do a damn thing about it since it is analog cable (short of breaking in to buildings, or writing complaints).
Also some DTV stations send signals to block aspect ratio changes at the converter box.
