533873 2007-03-18 00:07:00 Anyone getting up early hours to watch the NZ games?

So much for a boring 1 sided tournament...

India losing to Bandalesh...
Pakistan losing to Ireland..

How you think NZ gonna do? Finished with England....Kenya and Canada next..

Those would be the 20 or so minor B grade matches which Sky can't be bothered showing. Meanwhile while all other countries watch in 16x9 Sky provide their usual 4x3 rubbish.

533879 2007-03-18 13:42:00 16 x 9 looks bad on a 4x3 screen perhaps? R2x1 (4628)
533880 2007-03-18 14:17:00 Exactly. roddy_boy (4115)
533881 2007-03-18 14:40:00 16 - x - 9 is for wides.
4x3 shows square leg better.

533882 2007-03-19 08:04:00 Huh I think you are confusing letterboxed video with 16x9, if the signal is true 16x9 anamorpic your Sky box will either letterbox it or center cut it depending on the option you set in your sky box.

What you are seeing now on your 4x3 set is 16x9 and Sky are center cutting it themselves.
