Just like the “reason” they don’t have more widescreen channels – because most cutomers have 4:3 TVs. There seems to be a conflict of logic there. They won’t give us more widescreen channels because people with 4:3 TVs can’t watch them, and they can’t give us 2.35:1 because when people with 4:3 TVs watch them the picture looks too small.

 

Make your mind up Sky!

LOL - morons.  If a 4:3 customer wants a full screen image then ...errmmm..
they will watch the film on the non-widescreen sky channels yes?  That's
what they're there for isn't it?
