Page 1 of Star Wars: Aspect ratio question

NTL digital broadcast Star Wars on ITV the other night as 4:3, at least that`s how my Pace box picked it up, but someone at work said they were sure Sky broadcast it widescreen. Anyone know how terrestrial broadcast it?

Terrestrial Analogue Tiny little black bars top and bottom of 4:3

Digital Terrestrial 16:9, with the occasional glitch

Adverts p***ed me off so I stuck in the video

Interesting, thanks. I`ve often wondered why so little on ntl is widescreen.

In Mid-Bedfordshire we got it in 16:9 on NTL, but I had a couple of drop-outs, one of which messed up the sound synchronisation. I should have tried the other ITV we get, but didn`t think of it at the time.

I thought normal terrestrial had 14:9 with narrow bands top and bottom.

I only have the 4:3 special edition videos, so the widescreen was nice.

How many here saw it in the cinema back in 77? I sure did.

Me too!

Didn`t give a toss about the cinema before I saw `Star Wars`
After that I was hooked!

Mine was in 16:9 on ntl digital, are you sure that you have the settings set to 16:9?

Ah, good point gingerone, my computer software was set to 4:3, I`ve changed it to autodetect (experimental) and am getting stuff in 16:9 now.

Glad to hear it.
