1:33-1 movies on BD

Posted by Tom Brennan on November 26, 2008 at 11:00:26:
It seems that many HDTVs automatically go into the widescreen mode when the HDMI input is used. So what happens if you watch a 1:33-1 BD movie like The Adventures of Robin Hood? Is it stretched out to fit the widescreen? Or is the disc "reverse letterboxed" to maintain it's proper aspect ratio on a 16-9 TV?
