In Reply to: HDTV Will Be Forced Upon The Consumers Soon posted by Robertc88 on December 8, 2007 at 03:35:45:
The mandate to switch isn't to switch to High Definition or widescreen; it's merely to switch from analog broadcasts to digital broadcasts. Nothing will force any program content that's currently in 4:3 to switch to 16:9. Nothing will force higher resolutions.
So - people with 4:3 screens will see black bars on widescreen content; people with 16:9 screens will see black bars on 4:3 content. Same as it ever was.
