   i didn't target any specific show or movie... i said exactly what i meant to   
   say... some HD shows/movies do not fill the screen... they have empty bands on   
   the top and bottom... i think it is called letterbox but my understanding is   
   that only applies to some converted entities... not those that are shot and   
   transmitted/projected in HD...   
      
   the situation with TNG is different... it is a non-HD show being converted to   
   HD and retaining its original dimensions...

   And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was   
   so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected   
   up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing   
   the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn   
   it off.
