Just say no to stretch-o-vision {Engadget HD}

Oct 5th 2007 4:41PM I totally agree, my neighbor, my co-worker and my wife seem to have no problem watching strech-o-vision. Even the DirecTV "technician" (who hardly deserved such respect) that setup my hr20 seemed to think that i'd prefer to watch everything stretched... I cant imagine how many homes he setup that way and they just assume thats how things are supposed to look. My suspicion is that people are being led to believe that widescreen == HD and therefore if you make everything widescreen, everything becomes HD.
