Just say no to stretch-o-vision {Engadget HD}
Oct 5th 2007 5:26PM OMG this topic makes me laugh at all the times customers called me when I worked for Verizon FIOS. They would call me up yelling that there were black bars on the left and right and I would be like thats because they are taking SD 4:3 programming and trying to stretch it to HD 16:9 and you lose 1/3 the picture but they would still yell at me till I showed them how to stretch it, which is hideous. The term is a wrapper putting 4:3 on 16:9 with black bars on the side. When it is 4:3 and stretched from the provider as stated above, u can't even unstretch it which is worse. Customers would say when I had it would fill up the whole screen and feel if it isn't filling the screen they are getting ripped off. Anybody who has worked in FIOSTV or is working in FIOSTV is probably rolling their eyes at this column hahahaa
