Instead of the manufacturers, you need to take it up with the old school jackasses in the broadcasting industry. We moved into "the widescreen age" in 1950s. Yes, 19 F-ing 50s. That's when the movie industry decided to go with a wider aspect ratio for their presentations. So in order to fix your problem, it's really the broadcast people who need to get with it and distribute their transmissions in a widescreen aspect ratio (specifically 16x9, due to that assinine ratio being chosen for widescreen displays).
