Watched an episode on TNT HD, and its 16:9 too. Still strange that both HD channels in the US and the DVD sets are showing them in 16:9 but they're 2.35:1 in England. What is the purpose of doing that?

I have the same problem with Star Trek Remastered. CBS Digital rendered all of the new FX shots in 16:9, but the last time I checked the only way to see the shots in that ratio were on Xbox LIVE where the live action is 4:3 and the effects are 16:9. CBS.com, iTunes, HD DVD, DVD, Blu Ray, they're all in 4:3 exclusively. Why work so hard on something no one is going to be able to see?
