Be nice if FIRST off HistoryHD would STOP broadcasting everything in stretch-o-vision! I won't watch it because of this. Hey History, if you're reading, just upconvert your standard def content but LEAVE IT in its original aspect ratio. People who want to stretch it can do so as they see fit (cable boxes and hdtv's all have user-selectable stretch and zoom modes which you preclude us from using), but you're forcing us all to watch really wide people for no good reason. You're not fooling anyone that your channel is really "HD" yet.
