In Reply to: RE: This may be a silly question But what will the aspect ratio be after the digital conversion in 09? posted by artemus on May 02, 2008 at 19:20:09

HD. SD content will still be SD and, hopefully, still shown in original aspect and not stretched to fill a 16x9 screen. It will be a long, long time before all programming will be HD. It will never happen for lots and lots of programming that was not originally shot in HD?
