No chance of that anytime soon - it's a battle that seems to have been lost.
Who else noticed that ITV 1 has started adding an unwelcome pimple to the top-left corner of that particular channel? Thank god I don't watch it very often...[/quote] Quote:
You mean the bit that says 'HD'?
On other news, and after 5's 16:9 showings, it looks like 300 is an OAR premiere on ITV tonight. |

I think he means the fact it says 'ITV' on SD, too. The HD DOG is effectively smaller.

Have they changed the schedule? My Radio Times doesn't list HAIRSPRAY as due for broadcast on that channel today.

From now on, I don't think we should mention any more if a film is in OAR on any of the Channel 4 family of channels, as they almost always are. We should only mention if they aren't as that's as rare as finding one in OAR on the other terrestrial channels.
It's the BBC/ITV/C5 who are slowly but surely getting there regarding OAR stuff so we shoul be pointing out when they do it right. |

Libretio has anyone said what a great service you provide on here? I for one find it very informative to see what films are in their OAR on TV. Thank you.
![]() By the way, last time I looked, Film 4 were running a colourised version of 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH, though today's broadcast was back to good ol' black 'n white. Good thing, too. |

Shout at the Devil (BBC 2) sadly not, unless the opening credits count! The print quality was a bit ropey with muffled audio track.

C5 replaced PISTOL WHIPPED with the widescreen 'epic' CRIMSON TIDE last night - cropped to buggery, though.

why do they bother panning and scanning? its much more work to do! I can sort of see why they did it for 4:3 as the 2.35/4:1 format has a lot of letter boxing to do, but I really dont understand why they pan and scan to fit in a 16:9 frame? it does not make any sense any more!

PS. Air Force One on BBC1 - is this an OAR premiere? I don't recall it ever being in 2.35:1 before. |

Surprised to see BODY OF LIES playing OAR on ITV 2 last night. Coulda sworn I'd seen some of this on another ITV channel some time ago and it was cropped/reframed. Oh, well - I ain't complainin' about the upgrade...
