can anyone tell me whats up with ch 5737 (fox) ? it has weird black bars on the sides of the screen and looks squished.

I know its from the channel and not dish, but anyone know why the hell they are doing this.

thanks,
kable

Almost sounds like a letterbox feed??? Are the bars on the top and bottom? That's the format we should have went with from the get go, but we didn't. Betamax will always be better than VHS too. ;-)
