With the series 3 tivo, you can change the aspect on an SD channel to zoom in--to get rid of the top and bottom black bars--I've used this while watching shows like Rescue Me.

That's nice. Call me when all the content on the iTunes store is 720p

Some stuff fills the screen but a vast majority of things I've viewed on YouTube have been pillarboxed. I've only seen a few that fill the screen. Are they just randomly selecting what shows to convert?

Someone doesn't spend enough time with their Series 3 Tivo. The tivo does the best job of easily changing the aspect ratio on non hd programming. It even remembers the stations you watch in 4:3 rather than the stretched stuff... it's commonly held belief that sd looks terrible on hd sets but if you watch it in it's correct aspect ratio it's great.
