I get annoyed when some TV channels show 4:3 in 16:9 so we lose the top an bottom of the picture. One example is Murder She Wrote one channel sows them 4:3 whilst another channel has the same series in 16:9
They also ruined the original Star Trek TV series when the "remastered" it and made it 16:9 from 4:3, (they also added stereo sound effects).
There are many other examples.
Please TV companies show films in the ratio they were made.
