    The USA feed is 16:9. International is 4:3 so when CNNI take the USA feed it looks odd

    is there really a good reason NOT to have every feed in full 16:9 ??? is it cost? doubt it.

    It amazes me how backwards the US broadcasters are in Europe with CNN, CNBC and Bloomberg all widescreen HD back home but we get crappy 4.3 SD.

    Must be waiting until they can afford to upgrade to HD rather than do a 2nd update to 16:9 cameras.

    Europe has just recently went to HD though haven't they? I'm trying to think when the last time I watched TV that wasn't HD was like early 2011, I was under the impression that not all networks in Europe have made the switch to HD yet.

    I wish CNBC was in HD or even in widescreen. When I first got an LCD TV I had to change the settings just to be able to see the stock ticker properly.

    CNNi is now broadcasting in 16:9. Some programmes and old promos are still broadcast in 4:3, like World Sport is just now, but you'll see all newer programmes from the American CNN, like Amanpour and Piers Morgan Tonight, are proper 16:9 now.

    CNNi HD is broadcasting on satellite NSS-7 (22.0°W) only at the moment.

    :cool:

    I'm watching World Sport on CNN which is 4:3. when you can put out video podcasts in 16:9 there's really NO reason why you can't make the feed you send to europe 16:9. NHK World tv have a HD feed! and they dont even have more than 10 minutes of actual news per hour!
